VHP calls for boycott of Shah Rukh's film
Indo-asian News Service, Guwahati
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) Monday appeared to back the Shiv Sena by calling for a nationwide boycott of Shah Rukh Khan's 'My Name is Khan' but took objection to the Sena's Mumbai-for-Marathis stand and said every inch of India belonged to all Indians.
"People of India must boycott 'My Name is Khan' as Shah Rukh Khan is a traitor," VHP general secretary Pravin Togadia told journalists here.
"My Name is Khan", starring Shah Rukh and Kajol, is set to be released Friday.
But the star is mired in a blazing row over his recent comments advocating the cause of Pakistani cricket players who were not picked by any team for IPL.
