Book Fair Task Force Committee President Asim Kumar Dey confirmed the banning of the book on Thursday. He told the media that the title of the book is offensive. The title of the book is a mockery of the title of the highest person in the state.

As a result, the publishing company has been allowed to sell and display this book at the book fair without complying with the policy. They have agreed with us and are not selling and exhibiting the book at the fair. He said, this instruction was given after the book came to notice on Monday.


Since they have accepted our instructions, there is no need to issue written instructions. He also said that the policy of the book fair states that no book can be published by mocking anyone. But at the very beginning of the book, the sarcasm is made.
In this regard, the sales staff of Gatidhara stall said that they are no longer displaying the book at the fair from Tuesday. However, the book is being sold in various online book shops and Banglabazar from their own counters.

Ahmed Kawsar, executive director of Gatidhara, said that the book fair committee has verbally told us not to sell or display the book. We are no longer selling.

The author of the book, Bobby Hajjaz, told the media that it is basically a novel. Nothing is written here to insult any particular person. As far as I know they objected to the title of the book. They didn't read the whole book. I don't think they will have a negative impression of the book after reading it. Everyone will love this book.
