Members of the Raza Academy hang an effigy of the Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, in Mumbai on Friday to protest his visit to India.
The demonstrators raised anti-Sharon slogans. Mohammed Saeed Noori, general secretary of the Raza Academy, the forum that has been campaigning against Mr. Sharon's visit, said that by extending an invitation to Mr. Sharon, "the Indian Government had committed the cardinal sin of bestowing honour on a war criminal". He said that Mr. Sharon could not travel to most countries in Europe because of the passions such a visit would arouse. He said that if Mr. Sharon were allowed to step on Indian soil, it would be a blot on Indian history and would be remembered as a historical blunder by the BJP Government. He called upon the BJP leadership to reconsider its policy of wooing Israel and urged all secular-minded people to condemn the decision.
