New Delhi: Author Salman Rushdie is in Mumbai and Samajwadi Party workers staged a protest in the city's Juhu area on Sunday evening demanding that Rushdie be asked to leave the city.


They raised slogans against Rushdie and burt an effigy of his. Protestors led by Samajwadi Party Mumbai unit chief Farooq Ghoshi also chanted slogans against the state government and the Centre for permitting the controversial author to visit India.


They demanded that Rushdie not be allowed to stay on in the city as his presence could cause violence.


The protestors alleged that it was due to Rushdie's allegedly blasphemous writings in his book The Satanic Verses, that 12 innocent youths lost their lives in police firing at a protest march in 1989.


Rushdie is in Mumbai on an invitation by socialite Parmeshwar Godrej to participate in an AIDS awareness initiative.
