Protestors arrested for anti-Obama agitation

Bangalore, May 13 (PTI) Members of the 'Anti-American
Imperialism Forum', protesting against US President Barrack
Obama's "Bangalore to Buffalo" remark, were arrested when they
tried to forcibly enter Bank Of America premises on M G road
here in India's southern state of Karnataka on Wednesday,
police said.

About 25 protestors of the city-based outfit, carrying
placards and shouting slogans - "Down, Down Big Brother
Obama", "Buffalo has buffaloes, Bangalore has brains" "Osama
terrorised innocent, Obama terrorises BPO workers" - were
arrested when they tried to forcibly enter Bank Of America,
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Division), G Ramesh
told PTI.

Obama had recently spoken on the BPO issue and mentioned
about certain incentives that would now go to those companies
which create jobs inside US, in places like the Buffalo city,
rather than outsource it. PTI
