A ‘Valmiki' organization affiliated to a political party, protested against the anchor Shah Rukh Khan of the top TV show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati', the show itself and Star
Television, in Hoshiarpur (Punjab) on Tuesday.
These protests have been against some reported remarks by SRK against Valmiki ji (where he merely repeated
what the contestant had said). The protestors burnt an effigy of the actor.
The assembly elections being round the corner in Punjab and the Bahujan Samaj Party
having a reasonable presence in the state, the 'Valmiki' population is their traditional vote bank and every little opportunity is being exploited by other political parties to win
them over.
