Despite the removal of a controversial painting in the art exhibition 'Mahatma – The True Spirit' of the West Zone Cultural Center in Bager ki Haveli, the matter does not seem to be calming down. Social organizations are adamant on the demand to confiscate the disputed painting and sack the officials responsible for getting it installed.
On Monday, Bajrang Sena Mewar sent a memorandum to city MLA Gulab Chand Kataria and demanded action. Shiv Dal Mewar has started a campaign on social media. In this, the Prime Minister, Home Minister, and Prime Minister's Office are being tagged.
Along with this, the workers of the organization have made a complaint against the center director and artist in Jhadel. During this, Chief of Bajrang Sena Mewar Kamalendra Singh Panwar, Divisional in-charge Karanvir Singh Rathod, Divisional President Sunil Kalra. Divisional Medical Minister Ramesh Vasita, Metropolitan General Secretary Rishabh Singh Gehlot, Ranchod Lal Joshi, Lakhan Singh Panwar, Ravinath, Vinednath, Gavind Nath, Kailashnath, Neeraj, Shravan Nath, Lokeshnath, etc. were present.
That's why the controversy arose: A painting of some terrified pained faces, including Ashok Parmar. So the most famous of the Gujarat riots was displayed at an art exhibition in Bager ki Haveli on the occasion of the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence and the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. However, during the riots, this photo of Parmar as the face of terror became very viral then.
Jaipur-based artist Gopal Swami Khetanchi, who made the painting, described it as a symbol of communal harmony, while local organizations said that the work was going to defame Hindu society and inflict wounds. Because both sides have forgotten this matter.
