Mohanlal-starrer Empuraan sparks controversy; faces boycott calls from right-wing groups
Right-wing groups, including the RSS and Sangh Parivar, have called for a boycott, alleging that the movie serves as propaganda against Hindus.
The ongoing row over the controversial remarks on Maharana Sanga by Samajwadi Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Lal Suman turned ugly with a Rajput outfit, Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena Mewar, offering a cash reward of Rs 5.51 lakh to any one who ‘chops off and brings the tongue of the MP’.
This reward was announced by the organisation’s president Arjun Singh Chundawat on Thursday. The outfit has reiterated its demand for a public apology by MP Suman for his utterance. If the MP failed to tender an apology, the Karni Sena said it would protest the visits of the Samajwadi Party national leaders to Udaipur.
