Katrina Kaif can heave a sigh of relief. Thanks to director Vipul Shah, the Dargah committee at the revered Ajmer shrine is ready to forgive her for wearing a skirt on the premises.

Shah, in whose film "Namaste London" Katrina is playing an important role, offered his apologies to the management of the Khwaja Moinudeen Chishti's Sufi shrine.

"The director has felt sorry. So all actions supposed to be taken against the film crew has been dropped," Abdul Alim Dargaha Nazeen told on telephone from Ajmer.

The controversy erupted when Katrina visited the dargah in October with her co-star Rishi Kapoor to shoot for "Namste London".

During the shoot, Katrina had a 'dupatta' on her head but her legs were not properly covered as she had a knee length skirt. Her attire irked the dargha committee who found her costume objectionable and disrespectful vis--vis the shrine.

The film will have the original scene of Katrina offering prayers at the dargah.

From TOI

BHOPAL: Terming the Madhya Pradesh government's proposed surya namaskar as an exercise "against secularism", the minority wing of the state Congress on Saturday called for its immediate ban.

The programme being organised on January 25 in educational institutions across the state "is nothing but part of the BJP's saffronisation policy", president of the wing Haji Mohammad Haroon told reporters here.

Describing surya namaskar as a form of worship of the sun, he said any form of worship was against Islam.

Haroon said Muslims are not against yoga and pranayam but such programmes should not be organised by the government.

It is the responsibility of the government to honour all faiths instead of promoting any particular religion, he said, adding if any the government tries to encourage a particular religion, it would be against the principle of secularism enshrined in the Constitution.

He appealed to the Centre to frame a law to ban programmes that "violate the principle of secularism".
