LJS to hold meetings in Maha against 'cultural terrorism'

Lokshahi Jagar Samiti (LJS), a newly-formed civil society group, Wednesday announced that it would hold a series of public meetings across Maharashtra against "growing cultural terrorism".

Members of the Samiti alleged that the country and the state were heading towards "cultural terrorism" and maintainting the country's social fabric had become a challenging task.

"The Samiti has decided to hold as many as 10 public meetings in different districts of the state in which our members, mostly stalwarts in their respective fields, will speak about the growing cultural terrorism in the society," its managing convener, Kishore Dhamale, said.

Talking to reporters here, he said, "There are some forces, which are deciding what to eat and what not to; whom to love and whom to hate...undoubtedly these forces are increasingly becoming a threat to the social fabric. Hence, we want to make people aware of the pitfalls of emergence of such forces."
