VHP activists disrupt show

VADODARA JUNE 1. Three persons were injured when activists of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad disrupted an entertainment programme here last night causing a stampede.

The show, "Kanta Laga", by artist Shefali Jariwala was disrupted when about 20 VHP activists rushed to the stage at the Akota Stadium here to stop the performance of a song from a Hindi film, police said.

The activists claimed the song was "vulgar", they added.

Police resorted to a mild lathicharge to control the situation. Three persons were injured in the stampede.

Ms. Jariwala, meanwhile, denied there was any vulgarity in the show. — PTI
