Karni Sena takes to roses; theatre adopts unusual step

NEW DELHI: Deepika Padukone-starrer Padmaavatwas released on Thursday in theatres across the country, barring Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar, amid threats of violence and protests by right-wing fringe outfits alleging that the film distorted historical facts.
In Lucknow, protesters took to 'Gandhigiri' and presented roses to moviegoers outside cinema halls requesting them not to watch Padmaavat "in solidarity with the Rajput community", while bouncers were hired by an Agra multiplex to ensure peaceful screening. "If I don't watch the film, I would be supporting Karni Sena and the violent protesters who attacked a school bus carrying children in Gurgaon on Wednesday," an aged man who saw the film in Lucknow said.

In Agra, about 40 bouncers, clad in black attire, ushered moviegoers in and out of the theatre even as protests by members of Karni Sena and Hindu Jagran Manch continued. For each show, 20 tickets were given to bouncers who sat among the audience, deterring them from any mischief. Soon after Supreme Court agreed on Thursday to hear contempt petitions against four state governments, MP home minister Bhupendra Singh said after a meeting with the CM that the state hadn't banned screening of the film and that police was "alert and monitoring law and order".

While MP government spokesman Narottam Mishra said the administration was "clear that the time isn't right for screening the movie", chief secretary Basant Pratap Singh said, "Distributors have been asked asked to take a decision." Only one movie hall in Bihar showed the film. But the Kisan cinema hall at Biharsharif, 55km from Patna, had to pull out the movie after its morning show as protesters vandalised the theatre, which is owned by BJP's Biharsharif MLA Sunil Kumar.

In Saharsa, BJP MLA Neeraj Kumar Singh Bablu brandished a sword as he led a group of protesters. Members of Karni Sena and other right-wing outfits held a "half-day" bandh, called 'Janata Curfew', in Udaipur. They pelted stones at car showrooms, torched vehicles, threatened shopkeepers and blocked roads. Several towns wore a deserted look. Sree Rajput Karni Sena denied its role in the attack on a school bus in Gurgaon and alleged that the media was acting on the directions of Bhansali.

Last I heard that the media was campaigning for Padmavat with #Iwillwatchpadmavat and #Isupportpadmavat.

Wonder why no fan or supporter of Padmavati has any LOGICAL answer for the graph. Always conveniently calling others jealous haters.
