Real face behind the violence in Ahmedabad over 'Padmaavat' movie

Image
Protest against the film 'Padmaavat' turned violent on Tuesday evening when the unidentified group of people attacked after the march by Karni Sena. Single screen theatre complex of Cinemax and three malls Himalaya, Ahmedabad One and Acropolis was under attack by the mob. These happened even after the theatres had decided not to screen the film in their respective theatres. Windows of four-wheeled vehicles were smashed and bikes were set to fire parked outside these places. In the rampage, more than 150 four-wheelers and bikers were damaged. Police were left with no option but to fire a couple of rounds in the air.It directly raised questions over Karni Sena and the organisations who had threatened that they would go to any extent to stop the release of 'Padmaavat'.

Whether it is the distortion with the history or not is a different matter and debatable issue as well but to threaten the cinema houses in national televisions, provoking people and especially army jawans is the most disgusting thing they could ever do. I don't even understand the logic behind calling on "Kshatriya" jawans to put down their weapons on borders and not to eat mess food for one day. ...

On 12th January, Four senior judges of the country’s apex court – Justice Chelameswar, Justice Gogoi, Justice Kurien, and Justice Lokur – called for a press meet and declared that the administration of the Supreme Court was not in order. Their main concern about which they talked about openly was allotment of cases to the bench of junior judges over senior judges means they were not happy with the decisions taken by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra. Media widely covered this press conference and the issue was widely debated but media failed to put few things and connect them with the press conference intentionally or unintentionally. Let me remind you what was said at the press conference, that " there was an immediate need to preserve the judiciary system in the country if democracy has to be protected." This is what the judges said in the press conference: 1. This is an extraordinary in the history of the nation. It is an extraordinary event in the history of ...
