Members
of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan
Fan Club gathered to stage a protest
against the Shiv Sena party in Kolkata.
The actor is under fire from the Sena
for backing Pakistani players in the
Indian Premier League (IPL).
The fans of SRK were holding placards
with words condemning Shiv Sena.
The fan club members of SRK staged
this protest-demo outside Menaka,
the theatre in South Kolkata, which
will screen his upcoming flick 'My
name is Khan'.
The members raised slogans against
Shiv Sena
Rinav Das, a member of the Fan Club,
said that Sena was trying to damage
the popularity of Khan by branding
him as a traitor since he spoke in
favour of inclusion of Pakistan cricketers
in the IPL tournament.
Das said, “For the last couple
of years Shiv Sena has treated Shah
Rukh as a traitor. He is a person,
who has given so much to the film
industry, in fact to the whole humanity.
And this Shiv Sena who (which) just
needs issues, they have done it with
cricketers, they have done it with
other film actors and now their target
is Shah Rukh Khan because he is number
one."
He added by saying, "I can bet
you for sure that this is just for
sheer popularity, and he will be number
one and no community can bring any
difference between us. We understand
that he has done nothing wrong."
