MUMBAI:
The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has pulled up MTV
and UTV Bindass for telecasting indecent content in their
shows Splitsvilla3 and Emotional Atyachar.
The
I&B Ministry has issued show-cause notices to the two
channels for alleged vulgarity and denigration of women.
In
the show cause to MTV, the I&B Ministry finds the format
of the programme highly objectionable as individuals indulge
in all kinds of tricks to remain in the game including backbiting
and cheating.
“The
show contains visuals which appear to be obscene and vulgar.
The programme also denigrates women by depicting them in a
bad light. The show is not suitable for children and for unrestricted
public exhibition,” the notice says.
Emotional
Attyachar unravels the theme of fedility through sting
cameras. The I&B Ministry finds the visuals not suitable
for children and for unrestricted public exhibition.
Both
the channels have been charged for violating the Programme
Code prescribed under Cable Television Networks (Regulation)
Act, 1995. They have been asked to explain why action should
not be taken against them for violating the provisions of
the Uplinking Guidelines.
In
the past, the I&B Ministry had warned MTV for Splitsvilla
and asked it to run an apology scroll for three days.
