New Delhi, Dec 31 (IANS): Nearly 200 Bajrang Dal activists Wednesday protested outside a cinema hall in Delhi and stopped the screening of Aamir Khan starrer "PK", saying it went against the religious sentiments of Hindus.

Neeraj Doneria, Delhi state convener of the Bajrang Dal, told IANS that the activists gathered outside Nand Nagri's Gagan cinema in east Delhi around 11.30 a.m.

"We protested against the screening the movie and also burned Aamir's effigies and the film's posters," he said.

He demanded the cinema hall should stop screening the movie.

The protestors also blocked Sunder Nagri Road in the area for nearly 30 minutes.
