Controversy has arisen regarding the ‘Sanurban EDM’ festival in Panaji, the capital of Goa.
The organizers of the program have been accused of insulting Lord Shiva. The Goa unit of Congress and Aam Aadmi Party has demanded action against him in this regard.
Congress leader Vijay Bheke lodged a police complaint in Mapusa against the organizers of Sunburn.
Meanwhile, AAP state president Amit Palekar said that the state government should take action against the organizers for hurting Sanatan Dharma.
The popular dance music festival ‘Sunburn EDM’ started on December 28 in Vagator, North Goa and ended on Saturday, December 30.
Palekar said, ‘We noticed that the image of Lord Shankar was used during the festival. This picture was shown on the LED screen when people were drunk and dancing.
The AAP leader said that he has demanded from the government that action should be taken against the organizers as the sanctity of our Sanatan Dharma has been insulted.
Alcohol and God’s picture during celebration
Amit Palekar said, ‘Liquor is used during EDM festival, it is not right to use the picture of our Lord there.
We have called the Director General of Police and demanded that an FIR be registered against the organizers of the Sunburn festival. The senior police officer said that they have received a complaint from the Congress party and they are investigating it.
People have expressed their anger regarding this matter on social media. Users say that it is wrong to show God with alcohol and loud music. Regarding this, the police administration should take strict action against the accused.
Allegations of stealing expensive mobile phones at the festival
On the other hand, Goa Police arrested 7 people of a gang for stealing expensive mobile phones worth Rs 25 lakh during Sunburn EDM Festival.
All the arrested accused are residents of Mumbai. Deputy Superintendent of Police Jivba Dalvi said that the police have seized 29 mobile phones of different brands, which the accused had stolen from the concertgoers during the three-day festival.
He said that since the music festival started on December 28, the police had received complaints of mobile phone theft.
