Karni Sena chief Lokendra Singh Kalvi not withdrawing ‘Padmaavat’ protests

While news of the Kari Sena withdrawing their protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmaavat’ were doing the rounds, Shree Rajput Karni Sena chief Lokendra Singh Kalvi refutes the reports, saying that these rumors were circulated by an fake ‘Karni Sena’ group.

Kalvi told IANS, “There are many fake Karni Senas emerging in India. At present there are eight such entities operating in the country with vested interests. Only one Rajput Karni Sena operating in India and I proudly say that I am the founder of that organisation. Beware of such similarly named organisations functioning and operating in the market. We started the initial protests against the release of the film, which we still continue to do. However, the other duplicate Karni Senas are creating a dubious situation by releasing contradictory and fake news. “Jauhar ki jwala mein bahut kuchh jalega. Aur bhi bahut ghatnayen hongi (The fire of Jauhar will burn down many things, there is more to come). ‘Padmaavat’ will decide many things in future.We want the government to understand via political loss how it has hurt the sentiments of people here. We have hit hard on notes as well as votes. Bhansali was expected to get Rs 500 crore return, however, we scuttled his dreams and cut the profit margin to Rs 150 crore.”

Nonetheless, ‘Padmaavat’ is earning much praise worldwide.
