Mamata Banerjee supports Padmavati, freedom of speech

The politicians are increasingly getting divided over the Padmavati controversy. While Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan called for a ban on the film in his state even if it is cleared by the censor board, Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh said that 'nobody will tolerate distortion of history'.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, found herself on the other side of the raging Padmavati debate. She condemned the ongoing controversy over the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, labelling it as "unfortunate" and a "calculated plan" to destroy freedom of expression.

"The #Padmavati controversy is not only unfortunate but also a calculated plan of a political party to destroy the freedom to express ourselves. We condemn this super emergency," Banerjee tweeted.
