Bengali theatre artist Koushik Kar has been dropped from performing in Saurav Palodhi s adaptation of Utpal Dutt s play titled Ghum Nei after Kar s decision to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), reports
Times of India.
While Kar had been invited by Palodhi s theatre group called Ichheymoto in 2019 to play a part in Ghum Nei, now Palodhi has asserted that Kar s political affiliation is reason enough to drop him.
Palodhi has said, While adapting Dutt s play, Koushik and I had created his character and named him Akhlaq. The name had a reference to the 2015 Dadri case where a mob had attacked the home of Md Akhlaq, killing him on suspicion of eating beef. Allowing someone to play Akhlaq after joining BJP will be attacking the soul of the play.
