A bizarre video is making rounds on social media showing a group of people performing a puja to drive away the #MeToo and all other feminism movements that are plaguing our country”.
Going by the reports, the puja was organised by the Karnataka chapter of the ‘Save Indian Family’, an organisation that claims to ‘promote gender equality and family harmony’. The NGO performed proper puja with havan kund on September 22, 2019, at 12:30 pm.
A video and a poster that the organisation launched announcing their ritual has gone viral on social media.

The poster mentions that innocent men are being framed following the #MeToo movement, and that we have entered an era of “digital mob lynching” where men are the victims.
From the tweets, it is evident that the puja was performed in Bengaluru, although the poster mentions that it was held in different parts of the country too.
