Entertainment desk: A few weeks ago, talented director Mustafa Saryar Farooqui was appointed as a cultural advisor. After becoming an advisor, various criticisms have started on social media. Not only in criticism, many have demanded his resignation. However, many people consider him worthy and are also giving posts.
For example, today his colleague and one of the members of his film team, producer Ashfaq Nipun, gave a long post. In the post given this evening, he wrote, 'It is ridiculous to call Mustafa Saryar Faruqi Awami Dosr. I said funny, not sad, because from the staunch Awami Shilpi Samaj to the cadre army, they have not felt comfortable to see him in their party before, and will not do so now. If you do not believe, ask the Awamijan next to you? Shall rise! And if some of his old statuses and pictures are irrefutable evidence, then his Facebook posts criticizing the Awami fascist government in the last 15 years, especially during the July movement, should also be taken into account? From the Awami artist community to the fugitive prime minister himself was extremely upset? Or should his movie be banned twice during the Awami government?'
He writes, "If a few Facebook posts and one/two pictures are the final qualification to be a friend of a party, to be an agreed brother, then in the last 16 years, artists who are close to their 'Apa', have fake election campaigns to plant plots, positions, and business. Starting from 'Apa' in front of you, moving your hands behind, doing oil massage, me and Amimanad day and night in shul. A bucket of sympathy for those who rode.
He suffered a lot of physical pain in one life, he didn't even realize that even if he did 0.1% of it, he could happily eat the tag of 'your friend' now!'
Nipun writes, 'There has been a lot of criticism over Farooqui's appointment as cultural advisor. He is a man of culture, so he was made an adviser to this ministry. He was not made adviser on finance, commerce, home affairs, law or health. He is a famous person in the cultural arena at home and abroad, he has been criticizing the fascist government since long before the July movement, he is young in spirit, so maybe this is his appointment.
If he can't show the spirit of this movement under the Ministry of Culture, documents, then I will criticize him. I will do it 100 times. But the work must be given the opportunity to show first? Why can't that be given? Because of his few Facebook posts or a picture with Palak Sahib, apart from hundreds of fascist criticisms?'
He said, 'If I say a big thing with a small mouth, please forgive the rudeness. We know many people involved in this student movement, who were directly and indirectly associated with Awami League and Chhatra League at some point in their lives. Some were intentional, some were unintentional, some were tactful and some were forced.
But in the spirit of the movement, everyone was united in chasing the fascists. This unity was our strength. Now why this divide and rule policy? For whose benefit?
He criticized Faruqi's work 100 times. It is done if he cannot fulfill the responsibility assigned to him. Do it logically. But he doesn't waste his energy making unnecessary criticisms behind what he didn't say. I believe, Mustafa Saryar Faruqi will give his best to document this great movement. He and his team have that ability. I look forward to what he can give us. If not, then call him cheeky. Also, you don't make me angry. I will take the head.'
