Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra on Wednesday said nobody had stopped actor couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt from taking darshan of Mahakal in Ujjain but they decided against visiting the temple. Insisting that the protest by Bajrang Dal workers near the famous shrine of Lord Shiva was a 'different matter', he also said that artists and actors should stay away from making remarks that can hurt the sentiments of the people.
Ranbir and Alia didn't visit the temple on Tuesday night because of the protest by right-wing activists over the alleged remarks of the couple over beef-eating and watching the "Brahmastra" movie.
Police had resorted to cane-charge to disperse the protesters, an official had said.
