The Safok Community Library, run by the Safok County Council, stated that the step was done in light of “extreme negative reactions” for similar incidents in other areas, including protests. He described the decision as “operational”, not political, and that the events have been postponed to allow an additional risk assessment.
Mama ji – who describes himself as a “story -story -story Pantomy Dame, which tells children and families across the country that you tell about what you want and what you love” – he said that he had organized three days of incidents in Safolk in April.

The council said that the incidents have been postponed, not canceled, and it would have been decided regardless of that the library service was managed by the council.
“The council has every right to do so,” said Mama ji. “It’s really difficult to think about it is not difficult because this particular council has decided to take action against an artist that promotes positivity for all, but LGBTQ+ is a affinity for the community. I would not necessarily say that they were censors. [me]… but this is something that plays in your mind. ,

“My initial feeling, when he told me, I was quite numb, [because] I love pantomymes very much and sharing such a positive message, ”Mama ji said, which is now ready to perform in Havarhil, Ipswich and Stovemket.
He focused on educating others about incorporating and understanding others with an approach to creating his work a more respectable and sympathetic world. Talking about the present inflammatory and divisive nature of the society, he said: “Now what we are seeing is a reaction [from] People who did not have education about LGBTQ+ things and inclusion. ,
Referring to the council’s decision, he said: “It is just a shame that ‘this should happen instead of these incidents and we should do everything to reduce any negativity’, have they decided to postpone them … If they are concerned about classes of library community, it is doubled to move forward for these events.”
Chief Crystal Witts, head of Library Service for Safok Community Library said: “Due to extremely negative reactions for similar incidents in other areas including protest and disruption, we have postponed these incidents and are currently an additional risk evaluation.
