Several members of a right-wing outfit allegedly stormed into a cinema hall in Assam’s Narengi on Friday, vandalizing property and burning down posters of “pathaan”. When asked about the protests against the screening of “Pathaan”, Sarma on Saturday reportedly said, “Who is Shah Rukh Khan? Why should we care? We already have many Shah Rukh Khans?”

However, he ensured that he will act if any incident of law-and-order violation is reported. “Action will be taken, if law and order are violated.

But, so far, I have not received any complaints from the cinema hall owners or the makers of the film. If there has been any incident, Shah Rukh Khan, himself, should have called me up. If he does so, I will look into the matter, ” the Assam CM further said.

“Pathaan” is going to hit theatres on January 25 and stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham alongside SRk. The film has been mired in controversy ever since several right-wing groups objected to one of its songs. (Maxim News)
