Muslim & Hindu religious leaders demand for ban on Aamir's PK
Aamir Khan-starrer 'PK', which takes a swipe at organised religion and
godmen, was today at the centre of a controversy with Hindu outfits
demanding a ban on the film for allegedly hurting religious sentiments.
While the Censor Board too earned the ire of the protesting outfits, its chief Leela Samson said the Board will not remove any scenes from the film.

"Every film may hurt religious sentiments of somebody or the other. We can't remove scenes unnecessarily because there is something called creative endeavour where people present things in their own way," the Chairperson of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) said
"We have already given certificate to 'PK' and we can't remove anything now because it's already out for public viewing," she told PTI.
Meanwhile, Muslim religious leaders today supported the demand for ban on alleged "objectionable" scenes in the film to ensure that communal harmony is not disturbed.
All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) member Maulana Khalid Rashid Farangi Mahali and Maqsood Qasmi of the Imam Council said the Constitution does not permit demeaning or degrading of any religion.
