The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS), a right-wing outfit, has demanded a ban on the sale of T-shirts imprinted with pictures of Hindu deities at the ‘Saturday night market’ at Arpora and Anjuna flea market.
It submitted a memorandum to the Anjuna Police and to the Deputy Collector of Bardez Taluk, North Goa, stating that the sale of the T-shirts causes “denigration” of deities, which hurts religious sentiments of Hindus. The organisation also wants the State government to issue an ordinance that would address their demand.
