Palekar: I would have opted out if I had known

Pune | Monday | 11th February, 2019

Summary:

When Suhas Bahulkar requested me to stop I asked him if he was trying to stop and censor my speech. He was stopped by the organisers and was repeatedly asked to stick to the topic — Barwe’s art. I was interrupted — requested as per the version of the organisers — and I could not complete my speech. Then Jesal tried to stop me and since it was she who invited me to the event, I respected her and stopped. This is respected space for all of us and hence we wanted to know why this decision was taken?.
