Members of right wing popular outfits – Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal created uproar about Pathaan

Even before its release, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone star Pathaan were embroiled in a lot of controversy. Members of popular right-wing outfits – Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal have created an uproar over the film and its use of saffron color in Besharam Rang. On Wednesday, VHP and Bajrang Dal activists demonstrated at Vastrapur Mall in Ahmedabad against Pathaan’s release. Members of both parties tore down posters and other promotional materials for the film Shah Rukh Khan. Internet users, however, were not impressed.

Internet users react

Netizens, however, weren’t impressed with Bajrang Dal and VHP’s latest antics. A number of them called the parties and condemned them for their behavior before the Shah Rukh Khan movie was released. One person asked, “In the future, all movies will need to get a U certificate from Bajrang dal as well as the censorship board to be able to shoot safely in the country??” while a second commented, “India’s future is spending its time in research”.
