Dear @VasundharaBJP Rajasthan has the dubious distinction of leading in lynching minorities & allowing criminal #gauRakshaks that's no shame for you #Padmavati is?

@VasundharaBJP says Padmavati will not be shown in Rajasthan because 'dignity' at stake; I am presuming CBFC has no jurisdiction in Rajasthan? Central body's writ minus Rajasthan? Will other states also now follow?

"India will burn... if Padmavat is released", says Sukhdev Gogmedi of Karni Sena.

Vasundhara Raje takes his side and announces she won't let the movie release in Rajasthan.
But hey there's nothing to worry, for these are India's nationalists.
So Karni sena is threatening to burn theatres on republic day. R-E-P-U-B-L-I-C D-A-Y #Padmavat

Irony is dying hundred deaths under the pile of garbage. These hooligans should have been arrested by now, but no, we are interested in banning the film! @VasundharaBJP u reading?
If #CBFC clears #Padmavati 4 release, would @VasundharaBJP still ban the movie in Rajasthan. This is only expected from an incompetent CM and a lawless state. Such rhetorics are contradictory to @narendramodi ji¡¯s statement of growth & progress. 1step fwd,10 bckwd @timesofindia pic.twitter.com/TjTDLAaBLP

Bollywood Producers Guild should goto court against @VasundharaBJP and Raj govt. They have no legal right to prevent movie from showing in Rajasthan. #Padmavat@RanveerOfficial @deepikapadukone @shahidkapoor @viacom18 @DharmaMovies @yrf @ErosNow @kriarj @FoxStarIndia @aamir_khan
