Bengaluru playwright receives threat calls from 'right-wing cowards' for Kashmir play

Bengaluru based playwright Abhishek Majumdar has reportedly received threat calls on the internet from a person who claims to be associated with the right-wing group Hanuman Sena.

Majumder, who is currently abroad, reportedly claimed that he had previously received such opposition and threat calls for staging his play.

However, unperturbed by the threat calls, Majumdar chose to go ahead with staging the performances.

Majumdar has also announced on Facebook the schedules of his plays The Djinns of Eidgah and another play Main hun Yusuf our yeh hai mera bhai based on Palestine, to be staged soon.

The artiste reportedly said that right-wing groups have stopped the screening and staging of plays earlier and are generally opposed to content on Palestine and Kashmir from what he knows.

"I don't think they will cause trouble in the cities where the plays are staged. they are cowards, they will attack individuals," he said.
