BJP
(Bharatiya
Janata
Party)
MP
from
Karnataka,
Anantkumar
Hegde
has
condemned
Aamir
Khan’s
latest
ad
that
shows
the
Bollywood
actor
advising
people
against
bursting
firecrackers
on
the
streets.
In
his
letter
written
to
the
managing
director
and
CEO
of
the
company
Anant
Vardhan
Goenka,
Hegde
objected
to
the
advertisement,
claiming
that
it
is
‘creating
unrest
among
the
Hindus’.

He
wrote,
“Your
company’s
recent
advertisement
in
which
Aamir
Khan
advising
people
not
to
firecrackers
on
the
streets
is
giving
a
very
good
message.
Your
concern
for
public
issues
needs
applause.
In
this
regard,
I
request
you
to
address
one
more
problem
faced
by
people
on
road,
i.e.,
blocking
roads
in
the
name
of
Namaz
on
Fridays
and
other
important
festive
days
by
Muslims.”

Further
adding
that
the
company
should
raise
issues
of
noise
pollution
too,
he
shared,
“I
also
request
you
to
highlight
the
issue
of
noise
pollution
in
your
ads.
Every
day,
loud
noise
is
emitted
from
mics
arranged
on
the
top
of
mosques
in
our
country
when
Azan
is
given.
That
sound
is
beyond
the
permissible
limits.
On
Fridays,
it
is
prolonged
for
some
more
time.
It
is
causing
great
inconvenience
to
people
suffering
from
different
ailments
and
taking
rest,
people
working
in
different
establishments
and
teachers
teaching
in
classrooms.
Actually,
the
list
of
sufferers
is
very
long
and
a
few
are
mentioned
here.”

Stating
that
a
‘group
of
anti-Hindu
actors
always
hurt
the
Hindu
sentiments’,
Hegde
wrote
that
he
hopes
the
company
would
not
hurt
the
feelings
of
Hindus
in
the
future
with
such
advertisements
that
‘create
unrest
among
Hindus’.

The
lawmaker
said,
“As
you
are
keen
and
sensitive
towards
problems
faced
by
the
general
public
and
you
also
belong
to
the
Hindu
community,
I
am
sure
you
can
feel
discrimination
done
to
Hindus
since
centuries.
A
group
of
anti-Hindu
actors
always
hurt
the
Hindu
sentiments
whereas,
they
never
try
to
expose
the
wrongdoings
of
their
community.
Therefore,
I
kindly
request
you
to
take
cognizance
of
this
particular
incident
where
your
company’s
advertisement
has
created
unrest
among
the
Hindus.”

Earlier
(in
October),
a
clothing
brand
was
at
the
receiving
end
when
its
latest
collection
launched
during
Diwali
was
named
‘Jashn-e-Riwaaz’.
After
receiving
backlash
for
the
name
on
social
media,
the
company
had
to
pull
down
its
advertisement
and
promotional
tweet.
