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.

Mangaluru, July 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned the move by the state government to drop a lesson on legendary Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 textbook.

The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapter from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent.

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

In a media release statement, SDPI State President Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe termed the move as communally motivated. “By dropping the lesson, the BJP-led government is engaged in saffronisation of education,” he alleged.

He said that Tipu was the most prominent freedom fighter, who had given priority to irrigation, rocket technology and harmony. The BJP government is also planning to scrap lessons on the Constitution, secularism and democracy. By twisting history, the BJP is trying to mislead the younger generation, he added.
