Despite the removal of the ban on Padmaavat, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus continues to face trouble. Now, the members of Karni Sena, while speaking to a news channel, said that they will bury SLB and Deepika Padukone alive if the film is released.
Thakur Abhishek Som, a protester from Uttar Pradesh said, “We will bury Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Deepika Padukone alive if the movie is released. We’ve always opposed the idea of making a film on Padmavati because she is our Goddess. Our ancestors worshipped her, we worship her and our future generations will continue to worship her. You don’t play with our self-respect and pride… We respect the Supreme Court but they (the judges) must respect our sentiments. They themselves are victims. Only a few days ago, they had come out in the open to express their grievances in front of the country.”
In another report, Sukh Dev Singh Gogamedia, President of Karni Sena, said that they will meet the President to get the film banned. "We will also approach the President (to demand ban on screening of Padmaavat) ... We shall never allow the movie to be screened. How can you deliver the verdict by forcefully imposing the decision on state governments? This is more like killing democracy... What is the use of forming governments if they are not allowed to take decisions? Let the Supreme Court rule the country."
He also mentioned that thousand of women would perform jauhar in Chittorgrah if the film hits theatres. “We have already sent a letter to the Prime Minister and will soon be meeting the President in this regard," said Gogamedia.
