Editor Declines Award Over Remarks Questioning Lord Ram's Existence
-
Editor Kiran Shelar refused to accept an award from Prakash Pohare, another editor who questioned the existence of Lord Ram during his speech at the award ceremony.
-
Shelar said he did not want an award from someone who believes Lord Ram is imaginary and instead accepted the award from another guest editor present.
-
The audience chanted "Jai Shri Ram" and congratulated Shelar for taking a stand against Pohare's comments.
-
Shelar explained in a Facebook post that his faith in Lord Ram is real and he was angered by Pohare questioning Ram's existence.
-
The incident highlights the leftist anti-Hindu bias in much of the Marathi media and the importance of journalists like Shelar who firmly stand up for Hindu beliefs.
