After Ferdous, Gazi Abdun Noor asked to leave India
Bangladesh's Deputy High Commission in West Bengal has asked another Bangladeshi actor, Gazi Abdun Noor, to leave India over his involvement in the election campaign of TMC (Trinamool Congress).
Expressing dismay over Noor's actions after those of Ferdous, the commission reportedly asked him to leave the country as soon as possible.
Toufik Hasan, Bangladesh deputy high commissioner in West Bengal, said "This is very embarrassing. Those who are doing this must be aware of the law. We are very annoyed by actions like this. They have been asked to leave. Ferdous has already left. Noor has also been asked to do the same."
Noor plays the role of Raja Rajchandra in the TV serial 'Rani Rashmoni' on Channel Zee 5, popular amongst audiences both in India and Bangladesh.
He was allegedly seen alongside TMC leader Madan Mitra campaigning for TMC leader MP Saugata Roy on Tuesday.
The event was brought to light after popular film actor Ferdous was first caught in the controversy. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) of India, cancelled business visa of Ferdous and he was made to leave the country. The MHA also told the Anandabazaar Potrika, that Ferdous was committing visa violations, as he was campaigning for TMC candidate Kanhaiyalal Agarwal. Kanhaiyalal later denied his involvement in hiring the actor in the Mamata Banerjee-led party's campaign. This came as a big shock for the entertainment industries, for both Bangladesh and Kolkata, where Ferdous is seen as a goodwill ambassador.
It became a huge topic for debate among the masses and between India's two major parties, BJP and Congress, as the leaders from the former party put forth allegations on Congress for 'condoning' visa violations for their campaign.
