Gujarat and Haryana governments have reacted cautiously to the SC overturning the ban imposed by six states on 'Padmavat'. Minister of State for Home Pradipsinh Jadeja said the

Gujarat government will study the order and clear their stance. The government still believes the film can create turbulence in society, said Jadeja. "We firmly believe the film

presents distorted history and can hurt public sentiments. We have decided to study the court's order and clear our stand, after we consult legal experts." The Haryana government,

too, has promised to study the SC's decision. Meanwhile, violent protests broke out in some parts of Gujarat, with members of the Rajput community blocking the highway connecting the

Saurashtra region with Ahmedabad. Protestors burnt tyres and set fire to vehicles on the highway at Bavla and Bagodara towns. The protestors warned to escalate violence if the film is not

banned. "I have directed senior police officers in the state to maintain law and order in Gujarat. The government is taking necessary actions to curb violent protests. I also appeal to

all the citizens of the state to maintain calm," Jadeja said. Earlire, Karni Sena threatened to resort to junta curfew against the screening of the movie. "Cinema owners and

associations in Rajasthan have given us in writing they will not release the film without the consent of the Sena," Lokendra Singh Kalvi, Karni Sena chief, said in Ujjain.
