Amid protest from saffron organisation over screening of P.K., Uttar Pradesh Government has exempted entertainment tax from this Amir Khan starrer film. The announcement on this regard was made by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav here on Wednesday. “Everyone must see the movie. I should have seen the movie when it was released. Though I had downloaded it days back I could see it only on Tuesday night. It is a fabulous movie with a message,” Yadav told reporters here on Wednesday. “If I had seen it earlier I would have exempted entertainment tax long back,” he said. The announcement came amid protest from many Hindu organisations who are demanding ban on this movie which was released on December 19. These organisations allege that the film has insulted Hindu gods and religion. ''I have made the film tax free only for the protestors. They should go and see the movie. I am sure that after watching the film every individual will appreciate it,” he said. Meanwhile, Vishwa Hindu Mahasangh activists staged a protest in Etah and burnt the posters and raised slogans against its actor Aamir Khan.
