Pathan Controversy: Vishwa Hindu Parishad will not oppose Shah Rukh Khan's film 'Pathan'

Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) will not protest against Shahrukh Khan's film 'Pathan' released today. VHP says that keeping in mind our earlier objections, the changes made in the film are correct. VHP Mumbai Joint Secretary Shriraj Nair said that if we find anything objectionable after watching the film, we will reconsider opposing the film.

The film 'Pathan' is being shown in theaters across the country from today but in many parts of the country, its protest continues till now. A day before its release, its poster was torn and burnt outside a cinema hall in Bhagalpur, Bihar. Youths of Hinduist organizations tore the posters in the cinema hall and set them on fire and raised slogans 'Film Chalega, Hall Jalega'.

Members of the Hindu organization said, "Hinduism cannot be compromised. Any element opposing Sanatan culture will not be tolerated in Bhagalpur including the whole of India. If Pathan is shown in any cinema hall in Bhagalpur, It will be strongly opposed." Manager Lalan Singh said that some anti-social elements protested against the film and burnt the poster. Application has been given to the local police station and SP and the administration has assured to provide security. Right-wing activist Satya Ranjan Bora on Monday filed a police complaint against Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Pathan' at Geetanagar police station. 'Pathan' has been in controversy ever since the song 'Besharam Rang' was released.
