"Only To Watch Dirty Films": NITI Aayog Member Backs J&K Internet Ban
Noted scientist and NITI Aayog member VK Saraswat has triggered a controversy by saying the suspension of internet in Jammu and Kashmir since August last year makes no difference since people only use it to watch "dirty films". Mr Saraswat also tried to justify the internet shutdown in the erstwhile state by claiming that it is necessary for the development of the region and maintenance of law and order since certain elements try to misuse information from the internet to create unrest.
