Protest against 'Lajja'

BHOPAL, SEPT. 3. A group of BJP workers today burnt an effigy of Bollywood film- maker, Mr. Rajkumar Santoshi, and posters of film actress, Ms. Madhuri Dixit, to express their protest against what they described as ``objectionable dialogues'' against Hindu gods and goddesses in Lajja.

Police said the BJP workers led by Mr. Rameshwar Sharma, leader of the party in the Bhopal Municipal Corporation, were trying to move towards Raaz talkies, where the film is being screened, when they were stopped in view of prohibitory orders in force because of the monsoon session of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly.
