Ban on Teen Kanya!

Perhaps to ban screening of film Teen Kanya at Star Theater Kolkata is a well planned move of the administration to divert public attention from ongoing mess at Haldia port.Incidentally, the film is duly certified by the censor board.However, whatever may the ploy to clamp ban on this film, it deserves all-out condemnation from all sections of the society.It's the fall-out of the authoritarian mindset of the state administration which can't tolerate the slightest criticism about its activities.The concerned film depicts a Park street like incident and it is supposed to have offended the concerned authority.Any sensible man or a film critic will not find fault in display of such an incident but the govt that has shown extreme callousness and acted most irresponsibly in similar circumstances as presented in the film perhaps suffer from guilty conscience and so impose ban on screening of the film. Govt might have assumed the film intends to criticise its wrong doing to show it in poor light.This act of the administration is nothing but the infringement of fundamental right of its citizen that is normally done in dictatorial regime.We hope, those who recently and very rightly protested against the ban on staging of the drama Pashu Khamar ,an adaptation of George Orwell's Animal Farm in the fag end of the Left rule must come forward and vehemently oppose the ban on Teen Kannya too.
