Srinagar:
A Non-Governmental Organisationdemanded a ban on the hit reality TV show BiggBoss in the state saying that the programme was "obscene" andnot in sync with the cultural ethos of Jammu and Kashmir.
"The content of Bigg Boss aired on an entertainmentchannel at prime time is mostly obscene and not fit for familyviewing," General Secretary of Valley Citizens Council (VCC)Imdad Saqi told PTI.
"There is too much physical proximity between theparticipants and frequent use of bad language in the show,"said Saqi about the show hosted by Bollywood superstar SalmanKhan.
He expressed surprise that the state authoritieswasted no time in banning informative channels like Press TVand Geo TV, Iranian and Pakistani news channels respectively,but had turned "deaf, blind and dumb" to this "culturalonslaught".
Saqi said there was a need to monitor the otherpopular entertainment channels as well.
"Expletives are used in some serials as if that wasthe civilised way to interact in a family," he said.
