Bangladeshi actor Noor who attended Trinamool rally asked to leave India

"One more Bangladeshi actor, Ghazi Abdun Noor, who attended a political rally in Dum Dum, West Bengal, has been asked to leave India. In any case, his visa had expired. Appropriate action is also being taken regarding his overstay in contravention of visa validity," MHA sources said.

Noor participates in Trinamool rally

Noor is in the news for campaigning for West Bengal's ruling party Trinamool Congress with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lodging a complaint with the Election Commission.

Noor, who played the role of Raja Rajchandra in popular Bengali serial Rani Rashmoni, was found with Trinamool leader Madan Mitra who was campaigning for his party's Lok Sabha candidate from Dum Dum, Saugata Roy.

In his Facebook page, Mitra shared a few images and a video where Noor could be seen.

However, Noor claimed the images shared by Mitra were not recently clicked. Though he admitted to have been present in the rally, the young actor said he didn't speak a word supporting the Trinamool.

"I do have a very good relation with Madan Mitra on a personal level for a long time. He had helped me for treating my ill mother. The pictures which have been shared by him on Facebook are from "Khuti Pujo" (a ritual before erecting pandals for Durga Puja) last year. The video which has been shared by Madan da is the latest one. I had no vehicle to go to Dakshineswar when Madan da offered me a lift. I agreed. Later I found there was a huge gathering. But I did not participate in the rally and didn't speak a word in favour of the Trinamool despite having multiple microphones out there. To me, India is important and I am not in favour of any political party," Noor told IBNS.

But in a live video of Mitra, Noor was heard saying that he would be present to meet people at 4 pm on Apr 12.

The videos now have been removed by the Trinamool leader.

Before Noor, Ferdous Ahmed was in trouble

India has asked Bangladeshi actor Ferdous Ahmed to leave the country immediately as he was found electioneering for the Trinamool Congress, which is headed by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

The Union Home Ministry also asked for a report from the Bureau of Immigration after Ferdous Ahmed's presence at a Trinamool roadshow at Raiganj in north Bengal triggered controversy before the second phase polling for three Lok Sabha seats in north Bengal on Apr 18.

The Bangladeshi actor, who was on a business visa, was also blacklisted by the Indian government and has been asked to immediately leave the country.

Ferdous, a popular name in Bangladesh, campaigned for Trinamool’s Lok Sabha candidate Kanaia Lal Agarwal from Raiganj in North Dinajpur district.

However, when asked about the Bangladeshi actor, Agarwal said: "I've no idea about the specific rally you are talking about where Ferdous Ahmed or any other actor, actress took part."
