Theatre artistes to enact play again to protest disruption of show by Hindutva activists

Amateur theatre artistes of Shivamogga have decided to protest the disruption of the play Jategiruvanu Chandira by Hindutva activists at Anavatti by enacting the play again soon. The play was stopped midway by Bajrang Dal activists late on Sunday night.

Artistes, who gathered under the banner of ‘Havyasi Rangakalavidara Okkoota’, demanded the State government take strict action against those responsible for stopping the play. They have also decided to write to all legislators from the district, inviting them to watch the play.

They have also decided to write to V. Sunil Kumar, Minister for Kannada and Culture, and Kumar Bangarappa, Soraba MLA, on the issue and demand that they condemn the incident.
