Padmavati Row: Union Minister Uma Bharti goes against Karni Sena
As Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati is nearing its release date the protest against it has also mounted up. Today the Karni Sena chief Lokendra Singh Kalvi even made a remark on actress Deepika Padukone and said that if need be, action will be taken against the actress.
Mahipal Singh Makrana said, “Rajput Karni Sena is fighting to protect the image of women being portrayed in the films. We never raise a hand on women but if need be, we will do to Deepika what Lakshman did to Shurpanakha for violating the rules and culture of India.”
Finally, Union Minister Uma Bharti has come out in support and said Padmavati should not be attached with the Rajput community as it represents the pride of Indian woman. The union minister in a series of tweets raised her vice on the same.
1. जब हम पद्मावती के सम्मान की बात करते हैं तो हमें सभी महिलाओँ के सम्मान का ध्यान रखना होगा।
If we are talking about the respect of #Padmavati, then it is our moral obligation that we respect every woman.— Uma Bharti (@umasribharti) November 16, 2017
2. फिल्म पद्मावती के संदर्भ में उस फिल्म की अभिनेत्री या अभिनेताओं के बारे में कोई भी टिप्पणी उचित नहीं है। उनकी आलोचना अनैतिक होगी।
Disrespect of the actress or actor of #Padmavati is uncalled for and immoral.— Uma Bharti (@umasribharti) November 16, 2017
3. पद्मावती फिल्म के निर्देशक तथा उनके सहयोगी के रूप में उनके स्क्रिप्ट राइटर ही कथानक के लिए जिम्मेदार हैं। उन्हें ही लोगों की भावनाओं और ऐतिहासिक तथ्यों का ध्यान रखना था।

4. The director and his associate as the scriptwriter of #Padmavati are responsible for its story. They should have taken care of the sentiments and the historical facts.

5. मुझे भरोसा दिलाया गया है कि सेंसर बोर्ड उन सब बातों का ध्यान रखेगा जिनपर आपत्ति की जा रही है। मुझे विश्वास है कि उनके जानकारी में भी चारों तरफ से आ रही आशंकाएं एवं आपत्तियां होंगी।

6. I have been assured that Censor Board will take care of all the issues being raised. I am confident that they are already informed about the concerns being raised by the people. #Padmavati

7. फिल्म सेंसर बोर्ड एक स्वतंत्र संस्था है। वह सबकी भावनाओं का ध्यान रखकर ही फिल्म को पारित करे, ऐसी हम सब की अपेक्षा है।
Film Censor Board is an independent organisation. We expect that the film will be cleared taking the sentiments of people into consideration.— Uma Bharti (@umasribharti) November 16, 2017
मेरी अपील है कि फिल्म में जिन्होंने एक्टिंग की है वो इस विषय में पक्ष न बनें, कहानी की जिम्मेवारी डायरेक्टर और स्क्रिप्ट राइटर की होती है।
I appeal the artists who have acted in the film to not become a party. Its story is the responsibility of director & scriptwriter #Padmavati— Uma Bharti (@umasribharti) November 16, 2017
She even added that prior to the release of the film, filmmakers, historians, and the censor board together should form a committee and then come up with a decision.
Padmavati is slated to release on December 1.
