New Delhi
January ,24 2018
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday raised questions
over the inability of the state and central governments in ensuring the safe
release of controversial movie "Padmaavat" amid violent protests by a Rajput
group.
"If all state gov(ernmen)ts, central gov(ernmen)t and (the)
Supreme Court together cannot get one movie released and run safely, how can we
expect investments to flow in," Kejriwal tweeted.
"Forget FDI, even local
investors (will) feel hesitant. Not good for already dwindling economy. Bad for
jobs."
The tweet came after Karni Sena, at the forefront of
anti-"Padmaavat" protests, threatened that its activists won't let the Sanjay
Leela Bansali directorial be screened in movie halls because it depicts Rajput
queen Padmavati in less than honourable light.
