Karni Sena to ban CBFC chief Prasoon Joshi entry in Rajasthan- JLF

The Shri Rajput Karni Sena on Friday said it will not allow Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chief Prasoon Joshi to enter Rajasthan and attend the Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) which begins on January 25.

Joshi is one of the speakers at JLF – one of the most acclaimed literary events worldwide.

On Friday, the Supreme Court had rejected a plea seeking an urgent hearing on a fresh PIL that sought cancellation of CBFC's certificate granted to the controversial film, Padmaavat. The PIL, filed by lawyer ML Sharma, questioned the Censor Board’s certificate to the film and claimed there could be violence if the film is released.
