Noam Chomsky and Vijay Prasad cancel online discussion at ‘Tata Literature Live Festival’, asked- Is this censorship?

Popular writer Noam Chomsky and journalist Vijay Prasad regretted the “sudden cancellation” of their online discussion at the Tata Literature Live Festival and wanted to know if the move was a result of censorship. Actually Chomsky’s new book, “Internationalism or Extensions”, was to be discussed at nine o’clock on Friday night, but at one o’clock in the afternoon, Chomsky and Prasad were sent an email stating that the event would no longer be held.

Prasad tweeted, “Noam and I were going to discuss Noam’s new book at the Tata Literature Festival. Our panel was abruptly canceled a few hours before the event. “Both issued a statement saying they were emailed about the cancellation of the program.

He said in a joint statement, “Then suddenly at one o’clock in the Indian time we got an email saying” I am sorry to inform you that due to unforeseen circumstances we have to cancel your discussion today. ” ‘
