The state minority commission has protested against the entry of Pramod Muthalik, leader of Sri Ram Sene, into Maharashtra at a time when he is banned from Mangalore in Karnataka, reports the Times of India.

The Hindutva leader, at whose behest a pub in Mangalore was attacked in January after which his entry to the town was banned, conducted a meeting at Vengurla in Sindhudurg earlier this month. The minority commission has taken strong objections to it.
