Filmmakers Talk At Bhopal Lit Fest Cancelled. He Cites "Protest Threat"

Bhopal: A talk on LGBTQ issues by filmmaker and gay rights activist Onir Dhar at the ongoing Bhopal Lit Fest (BLF) was cancelled as a group threatened to stage a protest, a member of the organizing team said on Saturday. They were told by "government sources" that security issues could arise due to Mr Dhar's presence, said writer-journalist Abhilash Khandekar, a member of the organising committee. "It is obvious that any author should be sad in such a situation, but we were told by government sources that they do not want this kind of author (Dhar) in Bharat Bhawan due to security reasons as it may ruin the event," he told PTI. The BLF started at Bharat Bhawan, a government-owned arts complex in Bhopal, on Friday. Mr Dhar was scheduled to speak on the opening day. Earlier, Mr Dhar, the maker of the acclaimed film "My Brother...Nikhil", took to Twitter to break the news.
