Salman Khan's Dabangg 3 lands into controversy, Hindu Samiti demands halt on certification

The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has demanded the Central Board of Film Certification refuse the certification of Salman Khan starrer Dabangg 3. The Samiti has claimed that the song Hud Hud Dabangg has hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindu community and has degraded sages. The organizer of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, Sunil Ghanwat for Maharashtra and Jharkhand states have raised the question about the film and has asked, "Sadhus have been shown dancing with Salman Khan in a hideous and objectionable manner. As a result, the religious sentiments of all Hindus have been hurt. The way in which Salman Khan has degraded Sages, will he dare to show Mulla-Maulavi or Father-Bishop dancing similarly ?"
