Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Bhupendra Singh said on Thursday
that Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmaavat" continues to remain banned in the state
and the government would take its next step in the matter after studying the
Supreme Court order.
The Supreme Court on Thursday paved the way for an
all-India release for "Padmaavat" on January 25 by staying the operation of
orders banning the release of the film by the Gujarat, Rajasthan and Haryana
governments.
The Madhya Pradesh government has not issued any official
order for banning the film so far.
Earlier, asked about the film's
release, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had said what his government had
stated would continue.
Following the controversy over the film, the Chief
Minister had declared that the film will not be allowed for release in the
state.
However, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister S.K. Mishra
said there has been no official order in the regard.
On Wednesday, the
Home Minister told reporters that the songs of the film will be not allowed in
the state as the film is banned.
On Thursday, the Home Minister
reiterated that the film is banned in the state and the BJP government will
examine the apex court order and take any decision only after that.
To a
question about law and order issues in the wake of protests by Rajput outfit
Shree Rajput Karni Sena, he said "some people are angry over the film. The
government will analyse the law and order situation along with the court order
before any decision".
