Bangladesh Udichi Shilpigoshthi has claimed that a section of former Udichi activists who have left the umbrella of the organisation long ago has recently left cultural enthusiasts, all over the country, puzzled by performing a street drama named “Mukhosh” under their banner. This section for many years, featured the previous-incumbent government’s political and cultural narratives.
