Padmavati controversy: NCW to seek action against BJP media coordinator

NCW on Sunday said it will urge the Haryana Police to take against state BJP chief media coordinator.

New Delhi: The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Sunday said it will urge the Haryana Police to take against state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief media coordinator Suraj Pal Amu.

The tweet posted by NCW reads, "NCW India strongly condemn this statement and will write to Gurgaon police to take action against Ammu."

Earlier on Sunday, Amu had passed derogatory remarks against 'Padmavati' filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, actress Deepika Padukone and actor Ranveer Singh.

He had even threatened Singh of dire consequences for lending support to Bhansali.

"Want to congratulate Meerut youth for announcing Rs five crore bounty for beheading Deepika, Bhansali. We will reward the ones beheading them, with Rs 10 crore, and also take care of their family's needs," Amu had said. 

A Meerut-based 'Thakur' leader has offered Rs five crore to anyone who beheads Bhansali and Padukone.

Thakur Abhishek Som is said to be the national president of Akhil Bharatiya Kshatriya Yuva Mahasabha.

Meanwhile, the proposed release date of 'Padmavati' has been deferred.
