Protest against Mcdonald

MUMBAI, MAY 4. BJP activists today threw cowdung at one of the outlets of the multinational fastfood giant Mcdonald in south Mumbai, in protest against the alleged use of beef in French fries being sold by the restaurant.

The action of the restaurant had hurt the sentiments of vegetarians and also the Hindu community, the spokesman for the demonstrators, Mr. Manish Phadke, said here today.

``This is only symbolic and if the fastfood restaurant does not follow the required norms, the BJP activists will demonstrate in front of all their outlets,'' Mr. Phadke said.
