Shree Rajput Karni Sena chief Lokendra Singh Kalvi on Saturday dismissed reports that his outfit has withdrawn protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali\u2019s \u201cPadmaavat\u201d and said it must be some \u201cfake news\u201d circulated by a \u201cfake Karni Sena\u201d. He also said that his group has made the BJP pay – via its loss in the Rajasthan bypolls – for not respecting the sentiments of the protesting Rajputs.
\n\u201cThere are many fake Karni Senas emerging in India. At present there are eight such entities operating in the country with vested interests,\u201d Kalvi told IANS.
\nThe Rajput leader, whose group has been at the forefront of massive protests against \u201cPadmaavat\u201d, said there has been a \u201cduplicacy\u201d in matters pertaining to Karni Sena\u2019s functioning. (IANS)<\/p>\n
He stressed that there was \u201conly one Rajput Karni Sena operating in India and I proudly say that I am the founder of that organisation\u201d.
\nThe Shree Rajput Karni Sena has been protesting the Deepika Padukone starrer since its inception, claiming the film distorts history.
\n\u201cWe started the initial protests against the release of the film, which we still continue to do,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cHowever, the other duplicate Karni Senas are creating a dubious situation by releasing contradictory and fake news,\u201d Kalvi added.
\nThe Rajput Karni Sena on Friday had announced that it had decided to end the protests against Bhansali\u2019s \u201cPadmaavat\u201d stating that the film \u201cglorifies the valour of the Rajputs\u201d.
\nShree Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena\u2019s Mumbai leader, Yogendra Singh Kartar said that a few members of the outfit watched the film on the directions of the organisation\u2019s national President Sukhdev Singh Gogamadi and found that the \u201cfilm glorifies\u201d the valour and sacrifice of Rajputs, and \u201cevery Rajput would feel proud\u201d after watching it.
