Accusing actor Amir Khan of double standards, and advising him to go to Pakistan, Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad activists jointly intruded into the Shree Talkies here Sunday evening to disrupt screening of the film PK.

They tore posters of the film inside and outside the cinema hall, shouted anti-Amir Khan slogans and asked managers to immediately stop screening of the film.

Cinema hall management filed a complaint against protestors at the New Agra police station. SP city Sameer Saurabh said action would be taken.

Madan Sharma of the Bajrang Dal and Rajendra Garg of the VHP criticised Amir Khan saying that he was displaying his anti Hindu sentiments by ridiculing Hindu gods and goddesses in the film.
