Mangaluru, Dec 20: Activists of Bajrang Dal on Sunday evening tried to raid multiplexes at prominent malls in Mangaluru to stop the screening of Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dilwale.
The reason for the agitation is the statement made by the King Khan, film's lead actor and producer, against rising 'intolerance' in India last month.
On November 2, Khan had said at a press conference in Mumbai that “religious intolerance and not being secular is the worst kind of crime that you can do as a patriot.”
The protesters gathered in front of Bharat Mall, City Centre Mall and Forum Fiza Mall that house multiplexes and warned to raid the cinemas if the failed to stop the screening of Dilwale.
However, the police managed to convince the Bajrang Dal men to end the protest. Meanwhile, the screening of the movie was also reportedly stopped in view of the security concerns, sources said.
Sharan Pumpwell, state convenor of Bajrang Dal, confirmed that the members of his outfit staged protest at the City Centre Mall, Forum Mall and Bharat Mall.
"We requested the multiplex representatives to stop screening the movie. It was the people of India who made Shah Rukh Khan a superstar and now he is speaking against India in the name of intolerance," he said.
Police said that it was a peaceful protest and nobody was arrested. Aggressive campaigns against Dilwale from Mangaluru have been reported on social networking sites.

Clason, put together into a single book, and published as \The Richest Man in Babylon\".

Tim, Great post! I've in fact developed a good muse from \active investing\".
For income, I trade the e-mini futures agreements. And with the four-hour-work-week in practice, I trade an optimum of 90 minutes a day and
can work from anywhere, which permits me to take a trip as
much as I like. With the considerable earnings
provided from day trading e-minis, I have the ability to reinvest in various markets, all the while
implementing the very same day trading strategies into my longer-term investments.Take a peek at my blog.My advisable, Chris DunnLikeLike
