No peace for MF Husain after death

November 23, 2011 13:55

A Hindu right-wing organisation in Goa has taken objection to a film section at the International Film Festival of India, which pays tributes to the painter, MF Husain. Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, which had sued the painter for his controversial paintings on Hindu Gods and Goddesses, has urged the organisers of the festival not to pay tribute to the painter.

Husain, who earned both fame and wrath for his paintings, died in London in June this year at the age of 95.
