Leader Shiv Sena Priyanka Chaturvedi on Wednesday asked the film industry to speak against the politics of hatred and fear after Bajrang Dal members prevented the Bollywood actor pair Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt from entering the famous Mahakal

Temple in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain. Sharing old photos from several leading Bollywood actors and directors with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajya Sabha member said “OP photo” will not help if they continue to be “mute audience to be hated.”

Chaturvedi emphasized the need for a collective pushback against selective protests before every film release if we don’t “quickly go to the abyss of hatred, fear and silence.”

There is no photo op that will help if you will continue to be a mute spectator to hate & believe it is not your business to speak politics. They will pursue you. The Mahakaleshwar temple protest in Ujjain is a case in points. Give the name that political prejudice leads to such ugliness, “he tweeted.

This selective protest before every film release has become an industry & lobby, if not collectively encouraged, we quickly go to the abyss of hatred, fear & silence. The entertainment industry is a labor generator, lakh depending on it. Start talking.”

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were prevented from entering the Mahakal Temple by Bajrang Dal activists for their alleged comments on eating beef

The police committed Lathi’s accusation to dissolve the protesters but, according to eyewitnesses, the Bollywood couple could not enter the temple for Darshan, reported PTI.

We will not let them worship at the holy Temple of Mahakaleshwar when a few days ago Ranbir said that he likes to eat goat meat, chicken and beef in non-maniuran food,” said PTI, said by the leader of Bajrang Dal Ankit Choube.
