Amid the ongoing furore over the film Padmavaat, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, on Thursday, said that he along with some Rajput leaders, would watch the movie to see what was exactly portrayed in it.
Safety of wards
Talking to reporters here, Mr. Sisodia said though he was also a Rajput, “some people were defaming” the community with violence.
He, further, said that being the Education Minister of the Capital, it was his responsibility to ensure that parents were assured of their school-going wards’ safety.
This comes a day after a school bus with children aboard was attacked by a mob in adjoining Gurugram.
“I have invited many Rajput leaders to talk on the recent developments of violence. We are totally against these acts. Some miscreants, who are indulging in violent protest, do not belong to the Rajput community,” he said.
“I will watch Padmaavat today along with many other Rajput leaders and see what is exactly shown in it and then brief people about the movie,” the Deputy Chief Minister said.
