Mumbaikars snub Sena, MNIK runs to packed houses

ENT- 2ND LD MNIK

Mumbai, Feb 12 (PTI) In a rebuff to Shiv Sena, Shah
Rukh Khan starrer 'My Name is Khan' was screened in major
cinema halls in the city to packed houses Friday amid
unprecedented security.

After a shaky start when multiplexes and single-screen
cinemas cancelled morning shows, the owners went ahead with
the remaining day's schedule after getting an overwhelming
response from Mumbaikars.
"i am humbled by this show of love & kindness. so dont
know wot else to say. overwhelmed & promise will make india
proud with my hard work," Khan tweeted from Berlin.
However, Shiv Sena, which has sought an apology from
Khan for favouring inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in IPL,
claimed it had succeeded in its agitation.
Sporadic incidents of violence were reported from some
parts of the city with Sena activists staging protests outside
cinema halls.
Fifty Sena activists, including city corporator Rajul
Patel, were arrested from various parts of the city on charges
of rioting and unlawful assembly, police said adding that over
2,000 preventive arrests have been made since February 9.
A group of Sainiks were canecharged by police after a
stone throwing incident outside Fun Republic Cinema in
suburban Andheri while angry protesters damaged the wind
screen of a public transport bus in a nearby locality. (More)
