Alleging that the Aamir Khan-starrer film ‘PK’ hurts religious sentiments of the Hindu community, right-wing organisation Bajrang Dal on Monday held a protest in Jammu demanding a ban on the movie.

Led by Bajrang Dal coordinator Rakesh Kumar, over 150 activists of the Jammu unit of the organisation held a demonstration against the film for showing “objectionable” scenes about gods and goddesses of the Hindu religion.

The protesters shouted slogans against the film and demanded that the District Magistrate ban its screening.

“There are some scenes in the film which are objectionable. We cannot tolerate this,” Rakesh said.

The film that was released on December 19 takes a swipe at organised religion and godmen.
