Protests against Yadav Ji Ki Love Story continue: Protesters in Bharuch demand ban

Community leaders and members gathered outside the Bharuch District Collector’s office, shouting slogans and carrying banners calling for the boycott of the film.

The community representatives have alleged that this film has attempted to tarnish the image of the Yadav community. They have also claimed that the community’s history has been misrepresented and insulted.

The community leaders have said that if their demands are not met, an agitation will be launched in the upcoming days.

Sureshkumar Yadav, a member of the Bharuch Yadav Ahir Samaj Sangh, said, “We have gathered outside the District collector office to protest against the wrongful portrayal of the daughters of the Yadav community in the movie. We will not allow such a movie to be screened in the movie halls in the district. The protest will also be carried out in other districts of Gujarat as well.”

Another member, Devkumar Yadav, said, “The movie stars, director and producer of the movie ‘Yadavji ki Love Story’ are not Yadavs in real life. We have demanded strict action against the producer and director.”

Amid the stir against the movie, the Supreme court on Wednesday rejected a plea seeking a ban or a change in the title of the film saying the name does not portray the Yadav community in poor light.
