Members of the Valmiki community staged protests and burnt effigies of Salman Khan outside cinema halls in Rajasthan on Friday over the alleged use of a derogatory word by the actor during a promotional event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jaipur : The community is aggrieved over the alleged use of pejorative language by Salman, and by Shilpa Shetty earlier. At some places, the protesters vandalised properties. Police arrested around 40 protesters.<\/p>\n

In Jaipur, the protesters tore posters and film banners at Ankur, Paras and Raj Mandir cinema halls, where Salman-Katrina Kaif starrer \u2018Tiger Zinda Hai\u2019 was screened. In Kota, Valmiki activists broke a glass of Akash Mall where a multiplex is situated.<\/p>\n

Last month, the state was roiled by protests by Shri Rajput Karni Sena, which issued death threats to the actors and director of film \u2018Padmavati\u2019, forcing the producers to defer its release.<\/p>\n

The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) has sought a reply from the information and broadcasting ministry and the police commissioners of Delhi and Mumbai over complaints against Salman and Shilpa for allegedly using derogatory language in TV shows.<\/p>\n

The commission issued the notice after it received a complaint from ex-chairman of the Delhi Commission for Safai Karamcharis Harnam Singh who, in his complaint, said the actors used the word \u2018bhangi\u2019 in TV shows which insult the Valmiki community.
\n\"\"
\nSalman had used the word during the promotion of \u2018Tiger Zinda Hai\u2019, while referring to his dancing skills. Shilpa had reportedly used the word to describe how she looks at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few days ago, Salman Khan in an interview used \u2018bhangi\u2019 word. Constitutionally also, using this word is an abuse; it has hurt the sentiments of Valmiki community,\u201d Jitendra Hatwal Valmiki, a social worker,<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, people of Valmiki community tore the posters of Tiger Zinda Hai movie at Raj Mandir, Ankur and Paras cinema halls, staged demonstrations and burnt an effigy of Salman Khan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur demand is that Salman Khan and Shilpa Shetty should apologise to Valmiki community; till then the movie should be stopped in the state,\u201d Jitendra said.<\/p>\n

Additional commissioner of police Prafulla Kumar said around 30-35 people were arrested under section 151 of CrPC.<\/p>\n

\u201cProtests were held by the Valmiki community at different places in the state outside cinema halls, but movie watchers were not affected. Police are providing protection,\u201d said Raj Bansal, distributor of Yash Raj Films in Jaipur. \u201cSalman Khan had used the word in an interview some four years ago and many of his movies got released during this period; then why this protest now?\u201d
\nAt Ajmer, the Valmiki community under the banner Bhim Sena protested at three halls and demanded that screening of the movie be stopped. About 50 people attempted to tear film posters. Police rounded up some people and let them go after a warning.
\nIn Kota, around 35 Valmiki youngsters carrying sticks tore posters at Aakash multiplex and later vandalised glass of a mall gate. Anand Yadav, circle inspector of Gumanpura police station, said five persons — three minors — were detained. \u201cNo complaint has been received from mall or multiplex authorities so far.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
