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.

Amidst heightened border tensions between Indian and China, senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's two year old tweet comparing his party with Communist Party of China started going viral. 

The tweet, dated 26 June, 2016 reads: "Communist Party of China & BJP have done numerous works in social field. This way, there is tremendous similarities between the two parties." (sic)

Twitterati dug up this tweet after over 20 Indian Army personnel, including a colonel, were killed in a clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh earlier this week.

Soon after Chouhan's tweet went viral, netizens took to the micro-blogging site and slammed BJP. One user said, "Interesting comment by Hindutva ITSELF to recognise how similar they are with China. No doubt. Both believe in Dragon Throne .... and brutal absolute control." Another user said, "No wonder the BJP & China both agree that PLA never crossed into Indian territory."
