Police prohibit collective recitation of ‘Hanuman Chaalisa’ by Hindus

Mumbai: Recitation of ‘Hanuman Chaalisa’ can hurt religious sentiments of followers of other religions; therefore, Hindus should not gather together to recite ‘Hanuman Chaalisa’. Police have issued notice to pro-Hindus to the above effect.

If a mosque is in Hindu locality, they bear the ‘baang’ hooted for many times every day in the mosques. They tolerate even Muslims reading ‘namaz’ on the roads. In case a Hindu dares to lodge a complaint against such things, police never pay heed; then why ban on Hindus from reciting ‘Hanuman Chaalisa’?

A notice was issued by the police to Prof. Vyankatesh Abadev, Central co-minister of VHP, Mr. Sandip Tondapurkar, President of Mumbai zone and Mr. Prabhakar Andurkar, its minister for official matters banning them from collective recitation of ‘Hanuman Chaalisa’ in the background of Court’s verdict on ‘Ram-mandir’ case in Ayodhya. It has been mentioned in this notice that ‘In the background of verdict passed by Allahabad Bench of Lucknow High Court, it has been learnt that your organization had distributed sweets on the roads, celebrated with lighting, bursting of crackers and recitation of ‘Hanuman Chaalisa’ etc. These things can hurt religious sentiments of followers of other religions leading to law and order problem.
(In a country where Hindus are in majority, they will naturally feel happy when they get permission to build ‘Ram-mandir’. It is the duty of the police to help them celebrate their joy without any fear. If the police are unable to perform their duty, they should quit their job. Is this a Muslim country run by secular Government for Muslims who are continuously suppressing religious sentiments of Hindus under the excuse of outbreak of riots? )

Curfew order has been issued on behalf of the Police Commissioner of Mumbai Suburbs between 26th September and 10th October. The order should be followed and recitation of ‘Hanuman Chaalisa’ or other act that will affect the law and order situation should not be performed.
(Those who cannot digest Hindus celebrating their joy, create law and order problems; therefore, if at all the police want to issue notice to anyone, it should be issued to Muslims and not to Hindus as Muslims always create such problems !  Therefore, you will be held responsible in case there is law and order problem anywhere. (How can the police hold Hindus responsible for everything without verifying what has happened? These are bullying tactics!

Prof. Abadev said in this regard, “The notice issued by the police on the instructions of the police Commissioner itself is hurting religious sentiments of Hindus. This should be immediately withdrawn; else VHP will take legal action. We are issuing a notice to that effect to the police.” Mr. Deepak Gaikwad, an advocate and the zonal – minister of VHP said, “Hindus have welcomed the Court’s decision with complete restraint observing the parameters of law; even then, the State Government, out of its hatred for Hindus, have issued such kind of notice.
