New Delhi: A protest exhibition organized in support of painter M.F. Husain, whose portrayal of Hindu goddesses has invited the wrath of Hindu activists, ran into rough weather here Sunday as some people vandalised his paintings.

"The incident took place at around 3.30 p.m. when a group of around 15 people reached the exhibition venue and tried to damage the paintings," said Rajan, one of the organisers.

"They were shouting slogans and holding placards reading 'Bharat Mata ki Jai, Jai Shri Ram'," Rajan added.

The symbolic exhibition was organised under the aegis of the Safdar Hashmi Memorial Trust (SAHMAT) at the Constitution Club here.
