Pathaan controversy

Ahead of Pathaan's release, the film has been embroiled in controversy. In Guwahati, a far right-wing group's volunteers tore its posters and vandalised property at a film theatre.

When asked about the incident, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday told the media that he doesn't know SRK. "Who is Shah Rukh Khan? Why should we care? We already have many Shah Rukh Khans? I have not heard about any movie by the name of 'Pathaan' and neither do I have any time for it. Action will be taken, if law and order are violated. But, so far, I have not received any complaints from the cinema hall owners or the makers of the film. If there has been any incident, Shah Rukh Khan, himself, should have called me up. If he does so, I will look into the matter."

However, on Sunday On Sunday, BJP leader Sarma tweeted, "Bollywood actor Shri @iamsrk called me and we talked today morning at 2 am. He expressed concern about an incident in Guwahati during the screening of his film. I assured him that it's duty of state govt to maintain law & order. We'll enquire and ensure no such untoward incidents."

After his tweet spread like a wildfire, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma cleared his stance on Sunday and tweeted, "I have not called anyone but the actor who called me and introduced himself. My assurance of law and order only reflects my constitutional duty. There is nothing to take dig at."
