Suraj Pal of the BJP made the offer yesterday, adding to the threats of violence made by the Karni Sena,  a Rajput group, which says the movie distorts history and is offensive in its portrayal of Rajput queen Padmini.  Several senior union ministers have argued against the film, and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje has asked that it not be released without deleting the scenes declared offensive by groups like the Karni Sena.
