Success of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti in preventing denigration of Shri Ganesh during Ganeshotsav

Mumbai – During Ganeshotsav, many establishments denigrate Shri Ganesh taking place through various means for financial gains. This year too, some devout Hindus brought such instances to the notice of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS). HJS appealed to Hindus through its website and social media to oppose denigration legally.

HJS succeeded in preventing the denigration of Shri Ganesh during Ganeshotsav by Flipkart, McDonald’s and Madhya Pradesh Cyber Police Department because of the organised legal protest by the Hindus.

Success achieved by HJS

1. Flipkart

लगता है कि @Flipkart ने हिन्दुओं के विरोध के बाद नीचे दिखाए गए पोस्ट से श्री गणेश का चित्र निकाल दिया है ।

इस यश के लिए हम श्री गणेश के चरणों में कृतग्यता व्यक्त करेंगे ।

हिन्दुओं की अपेक्षा है कि @Flipkart को इस विषय में माफी मांगनी चाहिए तथा आगे एैसी गलती ना हो यह ध्यान दे । https://t.co/ucyKlqnCjb pic.twitter.com/t0VQPiA8Ke

Flipkart, an e-commerce website, had advertised a discount by Federal Bank on a mobile phone App by displaying Shri Ganesh holding the mobile phone in His trunk, on the occasion of Ganeshotsav. The picture was removed within hours due to protests by the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti on Twitter.

2. McDonald’s

After protest by Hindus, @McdonaldsIndia removed the post denigrating Shri Ganesha from Instagram, but its still there on Facebook page :https://t.co/7mUhrhVQEZ

Hindus are requested to protest lawfully against it & ask McDonalds to remove it and apologise for their mistake ! https://t.co/3ejPOrUehm

McDonald’s had posted a picture on Instagram and Facebook showing his ‘French fries’ in the form of Shri Ganesh. Both these posts were deleted by McDonald’s after protests by Hindus.

3. Madhya Pradesh Cyber Police

Dear @mpcyberpolice, we request you to remove the quoted tweet as it is nothing but a disrespect to Shri Ganesha. As you might know, Ganesha itself is the deity of wisdom & intellect; hence triviliasing Him is inappropriate.

We hope that you will take corrective action ASAP ! https://t.co/ZcmrnGpGyi

The Cyber Police Department of Madhya Pradesh had humanised Shri Ganesh in the picture and had written words on his face enlightening about confidential information. This was by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti and other devout Hindus opposed this on Twitter and demanded the removal of the picture. After that, the Police deleted the tweet.

Dear Readers, we are showing these pictures to just show the type of denigration that has occurred. We have no intention to hurt anyone’s religious feelings or disrespect the Deity.
