LONDON, ENGLAND, February 16, 2006: Greek authorities have ordered an Athen discotheque to remove one advertisement of a whiskey brand, which used the image of goddess Durga, after it irked Hindus around the world, a community leader said on Thursday. The offending poster was removed from the discotheque as a result of direct communication from the Greek Embassy in New Delhi to the authorities in Athens to have the poster removed immediately as otherwise there would be a strong reaction from Hindus worldwide, Bimal Krishna Das of the UK’s National Council of Hindu Temples said.
