Author Salman Rushdie has cancelled his India visit due to securiy reasons, organisers of the festival said on Friday. It may be noted here that some Muslim groups protested his visit accusing him of offending Muslim sentiments. While the Centre was silent on the controversy, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said Rushdie's visit has stoked security fears. He told Union Home Minister P Chidambaram that the writer's visit was being resented by locals.The central government then put Rajasthan and Delhi on high alert for the days of the festival, asking the police forces to take all possible steps to deal with any untoward situation. The Home Ministry advisory asked the two police forces to deploy adequate forces in all sensitive locations. The organisers, however, stood by their invitation to the 'Midnight's Children' author.
