Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria on Sunday said the state government will provide the required protection to censor board chief Prasoon Joshi during the Jaipur Literature Festival.
The home minister's statement comes two days after the Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena threatened against Prasoon Joshi attending the festival, amid the protests against Padmaavat.
"We will not allow any kind of nuisance. We assure that all protection will be provided to him (Joshi) and will not tolerate anything that violates law and order situation in the state", Kataria said.
Prasoon Joshi is a regular at Jaipur Lit Fest and is scheduled to participate in a session titled 'Main aur Woh: Conversations with Myself' at the fest on January 28.
