Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt Skip Temple Visit: Protesters Decide Who Prays In Temples?

Two days before Brahmastra, the year's biggest release, hits the screens, its stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have faced protests during their promotional tour in Madhya Pradesh. The couple were forced to cancel their visit to an iconic temple as protesters held up black flags and raised slogans to block them. The protests revolve around an 11-year-old comment by Ranbir Kapoor, 39. "I am a mutton, paya, beef...red meat guy. I'm a big beef guy," he had said during an interview conducted over a meal. Do goons get to decide who prays in temples? Also on the show, tax raids at three independent organisations - the Centre for Policy Research, arguably India's finest think tank; Oxfam, a global NGO which publishes the Global Disparity Report annually, and the Independent and Public Spirited Media Foundation (IPSMF), a charitable trust that supports The Caravan, The Print and Swarajya.
