How to ignore timestamp while converting date object to instant type in angular

Question

I am using the below function to convert Date to timestamp but it is taking timezone I need only the date with no timezone to Instant type

convertDateToTimeStamp(date: any) {
  return Date.parse(date) / 1000;
}

Before calling convertDateToTimeStamp() the date value is **Fri Mar 24 2017 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)****

After calling the convertDateToTimeStamp() the date value is 1490328000 which is Thursday, November 26, 2015 12:00:00 AM GMT-05:00

I dont need any GMT , the date should be same across all the timezones

Are you using TypeScript? The question seems independent of Angular. Please edit tags if this is the case. — Sid
