<b>Red alert on Husain</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Artist MF Husainâs apology for the nude painting, Bharatmata, has not helped. The Union Home Ministry has alerted the police chiefs of Delhi and Mumbai to his âobjectionableâ paintings and asked them to take âappropriate actionâ. It is the first time the Centre has decided to go against the Padma Vibhushan winner.
The Home Ministryâs advisory follows concerns â backed by intelligence reports â that Husain's Bharatmata and other controversial paintings of Hindu goddesses can spark communal trouble. A case against him is already pending in an Indore court.
