Chandigarh: Protests against TV serial 'Jodha Akbar' turn violent

Edited by Diana George | Updated: July 17, 2013 16:54 IST

Chandigarh: The newly-launched TV serial - Jodha Akbar - has led to a spate of protests in Chandigarh.





Members of certain Rajput community organisations today took to the streets in protest against the show which, they alleged, portrayed their community in a poor light.

The protesters accused the producers of the show of distorting historical facts. "No director or producer has the right to depict any community in such a way by distorting historical facts," they said.

The police resorted to lathicharge and water cannons to control the crowd.

The Balaji Telefilms serial went on air on Zee TV on June 18.

What the heck is wrong with these people? There is a reason why there is a disclaimer that's about 2 paragraph long shown before every freaking episode! I just read news on school kids dying because of contaminated lunch food in Bihar... Instead of doing something about that, they are fighting for a show!

This is crazy...some amount of protest was still explicable! But becoming violent for a tv show?😕😲
As somone mentioned, there are enough issues in this country which are worth protesting for or against, than taking up a fictional show and making a circus out of it!
