The Karni Sena has said that the country will not ‘tolerate’ controversial shots in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati.
According to a report, the Karni Sena founder, Lokendra Singh Kalvi said, “In case, a controversial shot is added to the upcoming movie Padmavati, the country won’t tolerate it.”
The founder also added how communities like theirs and many others in Maharashtra, Gujarat are in a struggle for reservation rights. “We are going to join hands with such communities to drum up support to make our presence felt to the government. We are not demanding that reservation should be given on financial status. Right now we are demanding review of the reservation to find out the communities benefited by it and the people who had failed to reap its benefit,” he added.
