'Hurtful' visuals at Sunburn evoke hardly any protests

Few leaders belonging to the Congress party and from one Hindu group have separately filed police complaints against the Sunburn organisers for allegedly showing Lord Shiva visuals on stage during the recently held EDM festival at Vagator and for hurting the religious feelings of Hindus by showing that Lord Shiva supports drinking alcohol, consumption of prohibited substances and all illicit activities that take place during this annual mega event in Goa. Now, where are leaders of other so-called 'vigilant Hindu groups' (especially Bajrang Dal) who are otherwise famous  for bringing out their own die-hard supporters in large numbers to protest against selective people on flimsy reasons and creating 'humgamas' outside police stations after instigating our peace-loving Hindus on unimportant silly issues? And how come they have still not bothered to file a single complaint at police stations against the organisers of Sunburn & other rave parties? This shows that the leaders of most of these vigilant Hindu groups in the state are not at all interested in defending Hinduism but are only interested in backing the activities of the present government and dividing Goans on religious lines.
