Jaipur: A bandh was observed in Chittorgarh
today in protest against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film
"Padmavati".
Markets remained closed for the day as various social and
traders' organisations supported the protest.
A large procession from Chittorgarh's Padmavati Jauhar
Kund passed through the city roads with women holding placards
which said 'Stop insulting culture', 'Declare Bhansali a
traitor' and 'Hindustan will not tolerate insult of women'.
"The protest was called on by Jauhar Smriti Samiti of
Chittorgarh and I was invited as a guest. Markets remained
voluntarily shut and a large number of people came out on
roads to protest against 'Padmavati'," said patron of Sri
Rajput Karni Sena, Lokendra Kalvi.
He said that meetings of Sri Rajput Karni Sena are
scheduled in Ahmedabad and Lucknow on November 12 and 19.
