Anti-Obama protestors arrested

Members of the Anti-American Imperialism Forum, protesting against US President Barrack Obama's "Bangalore to Buffalo" remark, were arrested when they tried to forcibly enter Bank Of America premises on MG road here today, police said.

About 25 protestors of the city-based outfit, carrying placards and shouting slogans - "Down, Down Big Brother Obama", "Buffalo has buffaloes, Bangalore has brains" "Osama terrorised innocent, Obama terrorises BPO workers" - were arrested when they tried to forcibly enter Bank Of America, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Division), G Ramesh told PTI.

Obama had recently spoken on the BPO issue and mentioned about certain incentives that would now go to those companies which create jobs inside US, in places like the Buffalo city, rather than outsource it.
