HYDERABAD: Taking a dig at Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, AIMIM chief
Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday called the controversy around
Padmaavat as 'pakoda politics' of
BJP. "This is pakoda politics. The jobless are burning buses, harassing schoolchildren, pelting stones, burning shopping malls and vehicles," he said, accusing Modi of rolling out the red carpet for trouble-makers.
The comment was made in the backdrop of Modi's recent address in
Davos
where he said that the government had successfully eradicated red-tapism and was rolling out the red carpet to investors.
"The triple talaq bill has been initiated without consulting religious scholars and people. They did not even form a committee to discuss the bill," he said.
Meanwhile, despite threats from the
Karni Sena, the first day screening of the film concluded peacefully in the city on Thursday, with most multiplexes reporting 100% bookings. The south zone police confirmed there were no protests or untoward incidents. "We have strategically deployed forces near cinema halls and places where there are chances of protest," said V Satyanarayana, DCP, South Zone.
