Rajput Protesters

Images of actor Sushant Singh Rajput on posters, banners, stickers and masks launched by the BJP in Bihar ahead of elections have drawn protests by opposition parties.

Shri Rajput Karni Sena, the outfit which led violent protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's movie "Padmaavat", has claimed the outfit is not involved in the protests against Kangana Ranaut's "Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi".

Akhil Bhartiya Kshatriya Mahasabha members have held a series of protests, demanding the dismissal of Agra university vice chancellor over a remark on Rajput queen Jodha Bai.

Broken eggs littered the ground outside the gate. Red splotches of tomatoes smeared the walls. This was the scene outside the house of Uttar Pradesh minister Om Prakash Rajbhar on Friday. His comments on liquor consumption pattern of people from certain communities ended with protesters gathering outside his house by the end of the day

Shree Rajput Karni Sena chief Lokendra Singh Kalvi on Saturday dismissed reports that his outfit has withdrawn protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmaavat" and said it must be some "fake news" circulated by a "fake Karni Sena".

The Shri Rajput Karni Sena on Friday announced it has decided to take back its protest against the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmaavat", stating the movie glorifies the valour of the Rajputs.

Denying again its involvement in the incidents of violence, the Shree Rajput Karni Sena on Saturday said it would intensify its agitation and continue it till the film "Padmaavat" is banned.

With protests still continuing against "Padmaavat", Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Friday said he saw the film along with a few others Rajput leaders and found nothing objectionable in it. A Rajput himself, Mr Sisodia said that those opposing the film earlier were angry with themselves after watching it.

From a group formed in 2006 mainly to "fight for the rights of Rajputs" to leading violent protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period film "Padmaavat", the Karni Sena has come a long way.

Post the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmaavat" despite their protests, Shri Rajput Karni Sena on Thursday announced that they will produce a film on the filmmakers's mother, which will named as "Leela ki Leela".

After a day of violent protests across 6 states against Padmaavat, Rajput group Karni Sena, which has been spearheading the protests, resorted to Gandhigiri outside a movie theatre in Lucknow.

Alleged members of the Shree Rajput Karni Sena on Wednesday blocked the Mathura-Agra route of the North Central Railway at Bhuteshwar station for about 10 minutes in a "symbolic protest" against controversial film "Padmaavat", which is scheduled for release tomorrow.

A day ahead of the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's controversial film 'Padmaavat', Uttar Pradesh capital Lucknow on Wednesday witnessed protests near malls and theatres from activists claiming to be associated with a Rajput fringe group Karni Sena.
