Karni Sena accepts Padmaavat glorifies Rajput valour, withdraws protes

After more than a year of launching massive
protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's
Padmavati, later christened Padmaavat, for
allegedly distorting history, Karni Sena
announced on Friday that it decided to take
back its protest and accepted that the
movie glorifies the valour of the Rajputs.
The protests started in January 2016 when
Bhansali was assaulted on the sets of the
film in Jaipur as the members of the fringe
group claimed that the film has a romantic
sequence between Deepika Padukone's
Padmini and Ranveer Singh's Alauddin Khilji.
Despite the filmmaker's denial that no such
scene exists, the protests continued in
many states across India and came to a
head around film's release. Padukone and
Bhansali also faced death threats .
Now, Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena's
Mumbai leader Yogendra Singh Katar said
that on the directions of organisation's
national President Sukhdev Singh
Gogamadi, a few members watched the
movie in Mumbai on Friday, and found that
the movie glorifies the valour and sacrifice
of Rajput and every Rajput will feel proud
after watching the film.
There is no such objectionable scene
between Delhi Sultanate ruler Alauddin Khilji
and Queen Padmini of Mewar which hurts
the sentiments of Rajputs, he said in a
letter, declaring that the Karni Sena takes
back their protest and will help the
administration to release the film in
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat as
well as across all cinema houses in India.
The Karni Sena had been demanding a ban
on Padmaavat on the grounds that it
"distorts historical facts and projects
queen Padmini in poor light. Last month,
Supreme Court also lifted the ban on the
movie imposed by several states and
directed them to ensure its release.
The film was released in theatres across
India on January 25 amid tight security and
protest from various groups, including
Karni Sena. However, some cinema hall
owners decided not to screen the film in
the wake of protests being carried allegedly
by Karni Sena members in Gujarat and
Haryana.
