They demanded the withdrawal of the brochure.
K Sukumaran, secretary, Kathakali club said that the picture was displayed in an unethical manner. “It will certainly sent a wrong signal about our noble culture,” he said. He was of the opinion that such a picture should not have been included in the brochure.
