JODHAA AKBAR BANNED IN UP

The Uttar Pradesh government has banned the screening of the recently released historical movie Jodhaa Akbar directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar based on the life of Mughal Emperor, Akbar. A spokesperson of Home department in Lucknow said that the decision was taken to maintain law and order in the state, since the movie has been widely protested by the Rajput community. Kshetriya Mahasabha, a Rajput organisation accused that the director had destroyed the history and hurt the sentiments of their people.
