Padmaavat Row: Kshatriya women threaten 'jauhar' if the film release i

In a new twist to the ongoing controversy
over release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's movie
"Padmaavat", female members of Kshatriya
community in Chittorgarh on Saturday
threatened to perform "jauhar" (self-
immolation) if the screening of the film is
not stopped by the government.
In a Sarvasamaj meeting held in
Chittaurgarh, the members decided to stage
a phase-wise protest against the proposed
release of film. The meeting was attended by
around 500 people, out of which 100
females belonged to high-profile families of
the city.
Speaking to IANS, spokesperson of Rajput
Karni Sena Virendra Singh said on January
17, national highways and railway tracks
across Chittorgarh would be blocked.
The film, already cleared by the Central Board
of Film Certification (CBFC) after five
modifications and renamed from
"Padmavati" to "Padmavat" and now titled
"Padmaavat", is scheduled to release on
January 25 across India. The Rajasthan
government has, however, decided against
releasing it in the state.
On Sunday, a delegation of the Sena will
meet Rajnath Singh, who is scheduled to
visit Udaipur, requesting him to stop the
screening of the movie across India.
According to Virendra Singh, a
representative board will also meet Prime
Minister Narendra Modi on January 16, who
is scheduled to visit Pachpadra village in
Barmer district for laying the foundation
stone for a refinery project.
"A request will be made to him as well to
stop the screening of the film," he said.
"But, if despite all these measures the film is
released, the women of Kshatriya Samaj will
perform jauhar on January 24 -- the day
when the queen performed jauhar -- and at
the same site," said Virendra Singh.
Chhittaurgarh Jauhar Smriti Sansthan
general secretary Bhanwar Singh said that
preparations were also being made to close
the gates of the historical Chittorgarh fort
once again.
Earlier, the Sena had planned a protest on
January 25 and 26, but in the wake of
Republic Day celebrations, the protest was
rescheduled to January 17, Virendra Singh
added.

Tell them to go ahead and let's see if they actually do it.

I am actually completely appalled and disgusted as to how REGRESSSIVE and BACKWARDS certain groups of people can think in today's day and age. Reading such shit makes you lose hope in humanity. There are people out there fighting for their lives, being raped and murdered. Then you have idiots like these threatening to take their lives over a damn film?! Are you serious. Such small thinking. Pity.

Let her burn.

How can people take such decisions even before watching the film,It highly pains me to see that still people are doing this for what to just stop the release of a movie,and for what someone whose very existence is doubted by the historians of this country.

I don't see this kind of jauhar and protests when millions of girls are getting raped and abused every year.

Why don't these idiots perform jauhar protesting their high class husbands and sons when they are raping other women and having multiple kepts.

at the cost of sounding insensitive, I would say let them burn... If they think their lives are so cheap to sacrifice over just a movie...

🥱

I never expect india become such regressive with such short time , and more important many educate ppl supporters of those regressiveness , still the relevant question why women need to showcase of their jauhar skill by jumping on fire , why not leave it to kshatriya male for bravado lol

Ek movie ke liye itna bawal.. ab to aur dekhne ka mann kr rha hai movie.. even if it doesnt have any of my favs..
