Mumbai, 25 January 2018: Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat has been facing troubles since its inception. It all began during the shooting of the magnum opus. The film was delayed post the threats and vandalism of the Rajput caste organization, Karni Sena. After a month of contention and heavy duty discussion all over the country, the film is finally releasing in theatres today.
Yesterday, the protest went overboard and crossed the lines of humanity. The protesters attacked a bus filled with school kids. The stone pelting that occurred amidst the little kids was nothing less than an act of shame. The idea behind the whole dissent is still vague, especially when kids were involved in it.
See the video below:
Shame on you #karni sena

You cowards you must be put behind bars for your hooliganism.#KarniSenaSaySorry #KarniSenaViolence #karnisenashameonyou #IndiaWithPadmaavat #freespeech pic.twitter.com/fI7qzLWfwH
Soon the #KarniSenaViolence started trending on social media. Amidst all the chaos, many celebrities, as responsible civilians protested against the shameful act. Some gave their piece of mind while some labeled it as a terrorist act.
Here take a take –
Farhan Akhtar –
Attacking a school bus is not an agitation. It is terrorism. The people who did it are terrorists. Please refer to them as such.

Of course, our "thakur" is a wimp who is all-talk & a real Hijdon-ki-fauj wd be 10000 times more effective than some state govts., at subduing this nonsense. How dare those goons attack school-kids!?

Mr. Prime Minister, Kindly enlighten us then, why are INNOCENT KIDS and TEACHERS in SCHOOL BUSSES being ATTACKED by KARNI SENA GOONS ? May be your extensive travel plans did not give you enough time to instruct your government how to resolve the #Rajput vs #Padmavat issue. https://t.co/Z7NinqvKWt

#KarniSena , you’re a joke. Do yourselves a favour and go watch the film. And dear women who threatened to commit #jauhar , Seriously?! You’d kill yourself for a film?!! So much for the climax of #Padmaavat !
