SS activists tear SRK's posters, Maha warns of stern action

Mumbai, Jan 28 (PTI) Indian political party Shiv Sena
activists Friday went on the rampage tearing down posters of
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's latest flick over his
remarks favouring inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in IPL,
after which Maharashtra government issued a stern warning
against trouble makers.


Sena activists reached a theatre at Eternity mall in
Thane and tore down posters of the actor's upcoming film `My
Name is Khan' and also handed over a letter to the owner
warning him of dire consequences if the movie was shown.
Minister of State for Home Ramesh Bagwe said the
government would provide security to Khan, if it was
sought and "strict action will be taken against those taking
law into their hands. Whatever Shah Rukh has said is his
personal opinion. Politics and sport should not be combined."
"Sena has its own agenda. They are doing their work but
we will protect the citizens," the Minister said.
Asked about Sena's threat not to allow Australian
cricketers to play in IPL matches in Maharashtra, Bagwe
told reporters "it is our responsibility to provide security
to all games to be played in the state and players."
Deploring the snub the Pakistani cricketers at IPL
auction, Khan, co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, had
recently said they should have been welcomed. "We would have
loved to have Pakistani players if they were made available
legally," he had said. More PTI SSG
