VHP to target film posters

KANPUR: After Valentine’s Day and New Year celebrations, posters of film stars will be the next target of the cultural police of Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP).
Concerned about the increasing ‘cultural pollution’ with vulgar films and also the western impact, the VHP has resolved to inspire Hindus families to display pictures of great Indian leaders, heroes of freedom struggle and Hindu gods in their houses to save the young generation from the western culture.
Earlier, the VHP and other Hindu organisations had raised protests against celebrations on Valentine’s Day and New Year, as, according to them these kind of events promoted western culture and contaminated young Indian minds.
The newly elected office bearers of the executive committee of Vishwa Hindu Parishad for Kanpur held a meeting here on Monday to ponder over the challenges before Hindutava. The new secretary of the VHP for the region, Kamal Kishore Gupta expressed concern at the growing impact of western lifestyle among the young girls and boys of Hindu families in the country and stated that Hindi films and western electronic channels were showing ‘polluted cultural dirt’ in the houses of Hindus. He called upon the VHP workers to come forward to curb the increasing cultural pollution and protect the young generation.
The VHP leaders said it was a matter of grave concern that the youths of Hindu families consider filmstars as their role models and opined that Hindu families should be inspired to remove the posters of film stars from their houses.
It was also decided that teams of the VHP workers would appeal to Hindus to display the posters and photographs of great Indian warriors, noted thinkers, philosophers and heroes of freedom struggle whose contributions towards the development of the country is noteworthy. The VHP leaders opined that the younger generation must know about the great Indian men and women instead of blindly going after film stars.
Besides, the VHP leaders also resolved to start a dharma jagran yatra from November 14 to December 15 in the whole of Kanpur to make people aware about the e great Hindu values.
