Villagers Protest CJP School Visit in Rajasthan Village
Residents of a Rajasthan village are angry about a visit by Citizens for Justice and Peace, or CJP.

They also objected to comments about a local temple.
One resident alleged that an FIR was part of the publicity effort.
The villagers said they may march to a police station and offer mass arrests.
They also said they would protest if CJP returned to the village or nearby areas.
