News MIB pulls up Russia Today for airing indecent content

[Deepu]

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) has pulled up Moscow-based channel Russia Today for airing a video clip containing several indecent shots last year. Russia Today was issued an advisory to adhere to the Programme and Advertising Codes. In its advisory, the Ministry said a show cause notice was issued to the channel after it was noticed that in December last year it ran visuals which appeared offending against good taste and decency. Responding to the notice, Lamhas Satellite Services Limited, the distribution partner of Russia Today, submitted that they did not intentionally or unintentionally try to vilify the portrayal of women in general and that the show was an extract of another programme purely based on abstract, experimental artistic pursuit as depicted in the clip.

Did any MP or minister visited Russia off late? Probably they would have watched there and thought that they are telecasting the same in India as well.

Better not to allow such international channels here. They always create such issues.

Then let's date back and enjoy Doordarshan only and keep our mind narrow bro.

Unless we don't change our mindset, we will only be saying these things always that's what I feel.

In that case our viewing censorship needs to be revised.
