Mumbai, February 26: Protests against the film ‘Yadav Ji Ki Love Story’ are ongoing despite the Supreme Court’s dismissal of a petition challenging its release. Following the court’s decision, members of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Mulayam) have taken to the streets in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, demanding an immediate ban on the film.
Demonstrators raised slogans against the film and warned that if their demands are not met, they would escalate their protests to Jantar Mantar in Delhi. During the protests, the activists submitted a memorandum to the district administration, stating that the film’s title and storyline hurt the sentiments of a particular community. They allege that the film misrepresents the Yadav community, potentially increasing social tensions.
The protesters emphasized that if the administration does not impose a ban on the film promptly, they will intensify their movement. They have threatened to hold a significant demonstration at Jantar Mantar.
It is noteworthy that on February 25, the Supreme Court rejected the plea to halt the film’s title and release, stating that there is no insult to any caste or community in the film’s title. The court clarified that a film’s title cannot be deemed unconstitutional based solely on speculation.
The court distinguished this case from the film ‘Ghuskhur Pandit’ and noted that there is no substantial basis for portraying any community negatively. ‘Yadav Ji Ki Love Story’ is set to release in theaters on Friday.
