The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the orders and notifications issued by Rajasthan and Gujarat governments prohibiting the screening of the controversial movie 'Padmaavat', clearing the decks for its nationwide release on January 25.
However, women from the Jauhar Kshatriya Manch have threatened to perform 'jauhar' or mass self-immolation on January 24 upon the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's controversial film 'Padmaavat'. Equating Bhansali to Sultan Alauddin Khilji, a member of this committee said this was their 'last resort' to protect their heritage and dignity of Rani Padmini.
More than being happy Twitterati was angry over Karni Sena's declaration. Here are some of the tweets...

If ladies perform jauhar they themselves & Karni SENA will only and wholly be responsible.Administrative and Law & Order authorities must take strict actions against these people.#Padmaavat

Dear Karni Sena,

Supreme Court has not banned Jauhar if some of your members want to do.
In some parallel world, Karni Sena protested against the release of Lord Of The Rings as the movie depicted Orcs in bad way. Movie was banned in Orc Ruled states

Karni Sena has hurt Rajput pride way more than any movie could have.

This is what happens when a group of privileged ignorant and jobless people take up a irrelevant cause.
I am a Rajput and I denounce Karni Sena and their stance.#Padmaavat
What is 'Karni Sena' ? Arrest them fully responsible to create "Chaos" in the name of #Padmavat why govt silent? Is there any mock support?

Karni Sena: Hum Padmavati ko ban kar dengay
— Aniket Bose (@ABnormalConnect) January 18, 2018
Bharni Sena: Hum bhi
Karni Sena: Hum Deepika ki naak kaat dengay
Bharni Sena: Hum bhi
Karni Sena: Hum chup chup ke DVD pe Padmavati dekhengay
Bharni Sena: Hum Bhi
Moral:Jaisi Karni Waisi Bharni #Padmaavat
If karni sena does violent protests to stop the release of #Padmavat on 26th then government should not hesitate to declare them a terrorist organization.

Do BJP CMs have the guts to take Karni Sena leaders into preventive custody to prevent them from vandalising theatres showing Padmaavat? Does India have a string-willed prime minister to tell them to do so? Or are they all busy appeasing Rajput votes for one by-poll in Ajmer?
