The Bombay high court on Thursday asked where the country was headed while alluding to "open threats" made to stall the release of the film Padmavati and the announcement of a reward to "kill" its lead actress Deepika Padukone.

While pointing out that threats are being issued openly and shown on television, the judges said people are taking pride in announcing rewards for killing artistes and performers. "Today somebody says, 'I will give a reward if you get a performer, artiste, actress killed'... Even chief ministers are saying they will not allow release of the film in their states," said Justice Dharmadhikari, adding, "This is censorship of a different kind. If this is happening to people with financial strength and backing, what about poor people?"

The judges said those who "openly and boldly" voice their opinion are being targeted by "people who won't like their opinion" and threatened with elimination by fringe groups. "That is what is disturbing us. We have been noticing that at the core of all these crimes is the bold attempt being made by fringe groups to attack those who voice their rational thoughts, feelings and expressions," they added.

The court said the country cuts a "sorry figure" with bold threats and attacks on people voicing their opinion. "We cannot take pride in being the largest democracy in the world when we are repeatedly confronted with incidents and happenings day in and day out," said Justice Dharmadhikari.
