#KalakShetra Why did senior teachers & ex Kalakshetra stalwarts gang up against #HariPadman ji and incite junior students to protest against him?
JEALOUSY?
Last April 23 Janardhana Guru who was direct disciple of Rukmani Devi ji celebrated his 80 birthday.

ALL old students were there all famous ones including Dhananjayans, Anita Ratnam, etc
Jayaram Guru very clearly appreciated Hari Padman ji & blessed that he could become Head of Concerts, at such a young age.
Professional jealousy makes people do strange things.

HPji has been in charge of only senior students, so the conspiring teachers couldn't get any senior students to complain. But they roped in the juniors with false promises(?) & threats of not completing Probation & got them to sit in protests.
In the meantime already

Those with agenda wanted to take control of #KalakShetraFoundation
This was a perfect opportunity for them. With Leela Samson's Facebook post, they started their campaign to outst the Director Revathi Ramachandran & HP ji.
Leftist Media supported them.

Took cognisance of the fact that alleged "victim" made a complaint against #LeelaSamson and has issued summons to her.
Unfortunately, HP Sir is reportedly emotionally broken at turn of events & has taken a long leave.
We hope Kalakshetra doesn't fall into the hands of WOKES.
