By TCN Special Correspondent,
Lucknow: ‘Saffron War – A War Against Nation’ – a documentary film on the communal-terror politics of BJP Lok Sabha MP and successor of Gorakhnath Peeth, Yogi Adityanath, was screened today at UP Press Club here. The film brings out the terrorist activities carried out by Hindutva organizations in the eastern Uttar Pradesh.
During the discussion following the screening, renowned social activist Dr. Sandeep Pandey alleged that, ‘this experiment is being carried out in whole eastern UP but the activities are being constantly ignored by the government’. He further said, “Yogi Adityanath and the Hindu Yuva Vahini that is supported by him, are responsible for many riots and massacres”.
On the occasion, Advocate Muhammed Shoaib said that, “The documentary Saffron War not only reveals the terrorist activities that are carried out by a specific community but also reveals how the dalits, women and children of Hindu community are prepared and conditioned with communalism”.
Joining him in discussion, Former VC, Lucknow University and Secretary, Saajhi Duniya, Prof Roop Rekha Verma said that, “Eastern U.P. is completely trapped by lumpens. Communal forces have made the whole social set up of that area completely patriarchal and against women”.
Yugal Kishor Shastri, Mahant from Ayodhya said that Yogi Adityanath is running a tradition that is completely against real Yogi tradition. His practices reflect a yogi as a lumpen. He said that this film reveals the truth of such experiments and practices.
It can be noted here that, just few days back, a Muslim youth, Sohrabuddin while going to Khalilabad was brutally killed by Hindu Yuva Vahini people.
The film has been made in Hindi and is directed by young film maker Rajeev Yadav, Shahnawaz Alam, and Lakshman Prasad under the banner of Foot Prints and Journalists’ Union for Civil Society (JUCS).
