Ghajini-like posters hit out at minority community

IN THE EYE OF A STORM

Mumbai: Posters, taking off from the Aamir Khan-starrer Ghajini and targeting one particular community, have started appearing on suburban trains of the WR.

The posters show a muscular man, sporting the Ghajini haircut, with several phrases tattooed on the his body. But unlike in the film, these tattoos are grouses that right-wing groups often have with the Muslim community.

The state intelligence department and the GRP have initiated a probe to figure out who is responsible for these posters. Though this is not yet clear, but the name of an organisation, the Dharm Raksha Manch, appears at the bottom of the posters.

Additional director-general of police (railways) Krish Pal Raghuvanshi deployed over 15 teams to trace the organisation behind the posters and ordered their immediate removal from trains. The posters also appeared to target the Congress, for ignoring “Hindu interests’’ and appeasing Muslims.
