Lindsay Lohan's father Michael has blasted his daughter's management team for stopping her from joining him on a missionary trip to India.

Born again-Christian Michael had previously told a U.S. tabloid the star was eager to join him on a tour of the country with New York's Times Square Church Missions.

But The Parent Trap star's management later released a statement rubbishing his claims, much to his annoyance.

He says: "I think we can all see that her present so-called friends and management have her focused on the wrong projects and things.

"If Lindsay would just listen to me and follow my guidance, like she did when her life was on the right path, and before the people you see now that are in her life, I guarantee that her life would straighten out and she'd be back to being the gifted actress everyone knew and loved."
