No release for Padmavati, ban completely: Karni Sena

After creating trouble for Sanjay Leela Bhansali and threatening lead actress, Karni Sena has asked for a complete ban on 'Padmavati'.

The Shree Rashtriya Rajput Sena on Friday said "I want to ask the central government what benefits will they get by supporting this movie? All the Hindu parties from whom we learnt about Hinduism are quiet on this film" Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, President of Karni Sena, told the media here.

Recently Karni Sena has also demanded the resignation of Information and Broadcasting Minister Smriti Irani and censor board chief Prasoon Joshi for allowing its release with a U/A certificate.

"The central government is mum on this film as Viacom18 Motion Pictures, which is a foreign company, made it during the time of demonetisation. During a time when we were not able to get Rs 4,000, how come (Sanjay Leela) Bhansali managed to get 160 to 180 crore rupees."

"Bhansali has even got a certification from Britain through (David) Headley, who is currently in jail. I want to know why Bhansali has not been jailed? Why is he not being quizzed about (his) anti-national (activities)?"
