‘Nip It In The Bud’, Says Biocon Chief As ‘Padmavat’ Protests Turn Ugly

‘Nip It In The Bud’, Says Biocon Chief As ‘Padmavat’ Protests Turn Ugly
A group of protesters shout slogans against the director Sanjay Leela Bhansali after the release of film Padmaavat, outside a cinema hall in Patna on Thursday.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ‘Padmaavat' released today even as violent protests continued against the movie claiming that the story hurt Rajput community's sentiments. Particularly shocking was an attack on a school bus in Gurugram, the capital of Haryana. A video circulated on social media showed students and teachers ducking for cover when the bus was stoned.

“This is not something we should tolerate in our society,” Biocon Chairman and Managing Director Kiran Mazumdar Shaw told BloombergQuint in an interview. While incidents like these don't impact day-to-day business, Mazumdar-Shaw said India needs to create a safe environment for doing business in any country.
