| Art Academy cheating upon artists | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Sept 24: United Artists Confederation (UAC) has taken strong cognizance of the remarks of Culture Academy’s Additional Secretary Savita Bakshi who has said that preference given to judges regarding the payment of Annual Drama Festival over the artists was because the judges, unlike artists, had not given in writing to receive payments when academy receive the funds for the same.
UAC, ridiculing Savita Bakshi’s statement said that had UAC not approached the Secretary Zaffar Iqbal Manhas with an offer to receive the payments after the Drama Festival, the only one big annual event of the academy too would have been whitewashed for ever.
UAC also held that it was through Confederation’s efforts only that ADF could be envisaged without which there would have been no judgment and no judges.
“We had approached the Secretary Zaffar Iqbal Manhas with a written assurance that we would be receiving the payments when the Academy gets the funds for the same with a mutual consent that academy would release the same in first priority for artists of the Drama Festival who had borne the entire expenses of the Festival of their own ,” said Vikram Sharma , president UAC in a statement issued here today.
UAC further alleged that Savita Bakshi’s remarks contain “dictatorial attitude towards the artist” for which the Confederation would be approaching Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, him being the president of the Academy, warned the UAC.
“Academy has once again cheated upon the artists as has become its ritual since past.
While huge amount is disbursed monthly as salary of the Academy, its staff seems to be enjoying the privilege doing nothing except finding ways and means to derail the cultural procedure by killing the artist,” said Kumar A Bharti, General Secretary UAC.
