Own Correspondent, Dhaka, March 12: Bollywood actress Sunny Leone wanted to come to Bangladesh to work in a film by hiding her identity. However, the Ministry of Information has canceled Sunny Leone's work permit after finding this.

This was stated by Information Minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud at the inaugural function of '10th Liberation Dockfest Bangladesh' at the Liberation War Museum in Agargaon on Friday (March 11) evening.

He said that 10 Indian artists had been allowed to come to Bangladesh. Sunny Leone was among them. But Sunny Leone kept her stage name secret, and her permission was obtained by showing her as a US citizen with a different name. What she did by hiding her identity is a crime.

Mentioning that her permission to come to Bangladesh has been revoked after learning about the matter, Hasan Mahmud said those who hid it have done wrong. We are thinking of taking action against those who wanted to bring her here.

In response to Mirza Fakhrul's criticism of Bangladesh's GDP growth, Hasan Mahmud said that the country's GDP growth rate and per capita income have surpassed India. It was stated by the IMF. Bangladesh's per capita income has increased due to its high growth. Mirza Fakhrul sahab is not happy that it has increased four and a half times in the last 13 years. Because they want the people of the country to be poor. That is why these weird questions are asked.

Complaining that countries that are vocal about human rights do not see human rights violations at home, Hassan Mahmoud said, "We are all vocal about world human rights. Again some countries are much louder. But sadly, the truth is that those countries are much more vocal about human rights and foreigners are very vocal about human rights violations. But they are not vocal about the widespread human rights violations in their own countries. We who work for human rights do not protect human rights in our own homes."

The Information Minister said that the bad days of the film industry are over due to various steps taken by the present government.

He said, "The bad days of cinema are over. The next days will be good, the movie will not go towards a bad situation."

In this year's event, more than 21 hundred pictures were submitted from 196 countries, out of which 140 photos from 40 countries will be displayed.

MP Asaduzzaman Noor, among others, was present on the occasion.
