 Hours after the furore in Rajya Sabha over the reality show 'Sach Ka Samana' broadcast by Star Plus, government on Wednesday issued a
show cause notice to the TV channel.
The Information and Broadcasting Ministry, which issued the notice, has sought a reply from the channel by July 27.
Ministry sources said the notice has been issued as the channel allegedly violated the clause 6 (1) ADIO of the programme code which says it offends the good taste and good decency.
The content of the reality show in question was raised by Kamal Akhtar of Samajwadi Party in the House during the Zero Hour.
He said obscene questions are asked by the anchor of the programme and gave a recent example when a woman was asked in the presence of her husband whether she would have physical contact with another person.
When she said no, the polygraph test said the answer was wrong, Akhtar said asking what impression would be created on the husband.
Meanwhile, I&B Minister Ambika Soni has called a meeting of NBA and IBF to discuss the issue of regulation of content in electronic media post Mumbai terror attacks. Source http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/ |
