In the wake of Rajput Karni Sena announcing that they won’t let Prasoon Joshi enter Rajasthan, the state’s Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria on Sunday said that adequate security will be provided to the CBFC chief who is scheduled to visit the state for the Jaipur Lit Fest which begins on January 25.
“We will provide all protection he (Joshi) needs from us. It is our duty to maintain law and order,” Kataria said on Sunday reacting to Karni Sena’s threats.
On Friday, the Karni Sena had slammed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chief for giving the go ahead to controversial film ‘Padmaavat’ and said that they won’t let Joshi enter Rajasthan or take part in the Lit Fest.
