Why premature closing of Veer Shivaji?
Is it TRP or external pressure, asks VHP

New Delhi, May 8, 2012. The very popular patriotic serial “Veer
Shivaji” is going to be closed by the end of month i.e. very much
before its schedule. Citing resentment among the viewers following the
premature closing of the serial, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad has asked
the Colors, the channel showing the serial, to clarify whether
the-premature closing is on the behest of TRP or due to any external
pressure. The Secretary General of VHP Delhi Shri Satyendra Mohan
urged the channel to continue the popular serial as it is spreading
the message of patriotism, culture and dharma. Shivaji’s commitment to
swaraj is now need of the hour and the countrymen are getting
inspiration from it.
“We have sent a letter to the Channel Head to continue the serial in
the national interest”, said Shri Vinod Bansal, the media chief of
VHP, Delhi. “In our letter signed by the secretary general VHP Delhi
we have written that if the Channel is going to sacrifice such a
patriotic serial in the name of TRP, it will never be justified”, he
added.
It is to be noted that once a chart burner for the channel, the
historical serial Veer Shivaji is going to be closed prior to its
schedule. It is the decision of the Channel. The serial, it is heared,
will breathe its last by the end of May. While the production house
and its viewers want a logical end, the decision of the Channel is
said to have been taken keeping in mind the dipping ratings of the
show.
