Venting their anger against actor Salman Khan for having lunch and flying kites with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, Ramvilas Paswan's LJP workers today labelled him as "traitor" and organised protest march.
Describing Khan as "kaum ke gaddar" (traitor of the community), workers of Patna district LJP unit took out a protest march and burnt effigy of the 'Dabaang' hero.
The protestors with many of them wearing skull caps also trampled photograph of the actor under their feet.
The actor who said he had gone to the state to promote his new film "Jai Ho", lauded Modi for development in Gujarat, but steered clear of publicly endorsing him as the future prime minister, saying "the best man should become the PM".
