#IndiaVsFringe | Here's what the nation thinks about 'Padmaavat' controversy

A day before the release of Padmaavat helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Karni Sena continued the violence against the film. On Tuesday afternoon the fringe group attacked a school bus in Gurgaon which had children on board. After this unfortunate incident we asked our viewers to send in their opinion on the protests being carried out by the fringe group and here's a collation of the best responses we received...

Lokendra Kalvi and other members should be put behind the bars. Karni Sena is a terrorist organisation whose members are instigating innocent people to commit violence and are creating fear in minds of people to stop them from watching 'Padmaavat'.

Isn't it time for the Union Ministry to step in and warn states backing Padmavaat ban? Karni Sena, maybe wrong in protesting against a film. But why play with the emotions of a sect? Karni Sena head says, they were never shown the film. Dozens of reporters have seen the film, the industry has seen the film, all openly talk about it. Yet, you cannot meet the group and sort the issues. They spent huge efforts in ridiculing who believed in the Rani Padamavati story, called it a work of fiction. But what one misses is the point that there is a huge sect which believes in it. Just as Mel Gibsons 'Passion of Christ' was questioned before its release.

Today a School Bus was attacked. Arrest those perpetrators, jail them for life. But see the conspiracy as a whole and take an action.
Putting up a square blame on Karni Sena, while your actions are adding fuel to fire, is completely not done.

Today I feel sad to see my nation burning, buses set ablaze, theatres torched, public property vandalised, 70 bikes set on fire, school bus attacked and targeted, shops looted, malls destroyed, stones pelted, fringe threatening, the breakdown of state mechanisms and unfortunately it hasn't come to an end. I feel betrayed by all those netas who promised a safe living environment for the citizens but failed to protect even the innocent children sitting inside a school bus. Panicked and scared children went under the seats of the bus after being stone pelted by the fringe. Fortunately, the children were not harmed physically. This video is disturbing. Shameful!
