In a complaint filed before Panjim Police, Kerkar, who was earlier attacked Hindu organizations for his paintings, has said that the sanstha was disbursing pamplets and circulating CDs with objectionable material at durga puja festival.
Panjim police inspector Shivram Vaigankar confirmed about receiving the complaint from a group including Kerkar.
The complaint is also filed by Jawahar Barve, Vasant Bhat, Yadneshwar Nigalye and others stating that `sanstha was spitting venom against Muslim community.’
He has said that such an act can create communal disharmony in the peaceful state of Goa. Hindu Right wing organisations, recently, had began campaign against using disco music for dandiya and garba. The organizations had said that it is against the tradition and insult to the Goddess.
Few of the text messages cautioning Hindus about possible Love Jihad by Muslim boys under pretext of dandiya celebration were also circulated in the state. Kerkar alleged that Sanatan Sanstha, in general, is not for Hinduism but intends to disturb communal harmony. (HD)
Subodh Kerkar is a very good artist, if he has complained to the cops about the Sanstha then there must be truth in it. Subodh is not a politician, he is an artist and an artist sees the inner minds of the art and the art of Sanathan has been brought to light by him.
ReplyDeleteWho is sanathan sanstha to judge other hindus? It is none of their business whether we use disco music or slow music. They are no one to impose their rules on us. This outfit should be banned as a criminal organisation at once. It is not banned because Sudin Dhavlikar and his wife are also involved in it.
ReplyDeleteSubodh, I still remember your painting "Call of the Sea" and the work that you did in Germany. People in Germany recognised your talent and in Goa, some guys with perverted ideology are trying to destroy your free will. No one can impose their views on others. We are living in the 21st century where Free Will determines the well being of a progressive society.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the difference between the illiterate Taliban and Sanathan Sanstha? There is no difference... their views are the same.
