Fake apologies of directors of web series was rejected by patriots
The director of this web series, Ken Ghosh, apologised after the fierce opposition in social media. (Ken Ghosh being a Bengali himself, he himself insults a Bengali revolutionary, this brings to mind the mentality of such people of Bengal ! – Editor) He said, ‘We apologise for this. Our aim was not to hurt anyone’s feelings. (There was no purpose to hurt the emotion, then what was the purpose ?, Ghosh should tell this ! – Editor) We have blurred the photographs related to this scene.’
This apology is not acceptable. Related scenes should be removed from the web series and ‘Zee5’ should apologise publicly, demanded the patriots through social media.
