Indrani Mukerjea Performs at Khushwant Singh Lit Fest in Kasauli, Organizers Slammed

Kasauli: The organizers of the Khushwant Singh Literary Festival are facing major backlash for inviting Indrani Mukerjea to perform at the event.

Indrani Mukerjea, who is accused of the murder of her daughter, Sheena Bora, delivered a dance performance at the Kasauli literary festival on Friday. She was also a panelist in the last edition of the festival.

However, netizens have expressed their disappointment with the organizers for giving Indrani Mukerjea a platform.

"Seeing Indrani Mukerjea perform and be legitimized at a lit fest, that too one named after Khushwant Singh, makes me sick to the pit of my stomach," a user wrote on X.

The post garnered over 240.8K views and several reactions.

"It's disheartening to see someone like Indrani Mukerjea being celebrated at a lit fest named after Khushwant Singh, whose legacy stands for integrity and honesty. This sends the wrong message about accountability and justice. We should be elevating voices that inspire and uplift, not those that embody controversy and scandal," another user commented.

"Money can’t buy everything, but money can buy most things!" a second user opined.

Another asked, "How did the organizers allow this?"

A final comment read, "Yes, this is seriously objectionable and twisted. Even if it's all about money, that doesn't mean there shouldn't be a bare minimum of decency. How can this even be considered a lit fest?!"
