Kolkata: It was a strange move when Imran Khan press conference was blacked out at the Kolkata Book Fair for about a minute as the Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician fielded a volley of blistering questions by journalists.
Apparently, the session which lasted for about fifty minutes and had a five minutes presser, was blacked out by the organisers as the press conference was showing no signs of ending.
Talking to a news channel, Tridib Chatterjee, Kolkata Book Fair organiser’s top official said, “We did switch off power because the next programme could not be started. So we were forced to do so.”
Chatterjee revealed that Imran Khan was hounded by the media and had to be rescued from over enthused journalists.
