A day before the release of Padmaavat, Rajput group Karni Sena has intensified protests against the film. Violence has been reported from four states – Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh. The group’s chief Lokendra Singh Kalvi has refused to back down and says that the protest will continue in states where the film is not banned yet. Out of fear, Gujarat theatre owners have refused to screen the film anywhere in the state. Some theatre owners in Delhi-NCR are also considering following suit. The outfit has already blocked Delhi-Jaipur highway, disrupting the law and order. In Rajasthan, Chittorgarh Fort has been closed as a mark of protest against the release. Slamming the central and state governments, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal says that if the government can’t ensure the safety of a film in their respective states, how can they expect investors to invest in a business there. Padmaavat has been passed with a U/A certificate after five modifications and a title change. Earlier, various states government banned the film, however, the makers knocked on the doors of SC where the ruling came in their favour. SC asked the states to lift the ban and rejected their petition to review the decision. However, Karni Sena doesn’t seem convinced with the verdict. The Supreme Court has now decided to hear another plea banning some scenes on Monday.
