Salman Khan's Bigg Boss in big trouble as BJP MLA seeks ban


Lucknow, Oct 10 (IANS): Salman Khan's reality show "Bigg Boss" seems to be in big trouble.

BJP MLA from Ghaziabad, Nand Kishore Gujjar has written a letter to Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javdekar demanding that the show be taken off air.

In his letter, the BJP legislator has alleged that the "show was promoting obscenity and vulgarity and was unfit for family viewing".

"The show is against the cultural ethos of the country and highly objectionable intimate scenes were a part of it. Couples of different communities were being made to become bed partners which was unacceptable.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on one hand, is trying to make India regain its lost glory and, on the other, such shows were demeaning the country's culture," he wrote.

The BJP lawmaker also demanded a censor mechanism for content being aired on television in order to prevent such incidents in future.

He said that children and minors are watching television and have fair access to such shows which have adult content. Moreover the shows are available on the internet too.

The Brahmin Mahasabha has also sought a ban on the reality show with immediate effect. The Mahasabha has submitted a memorandum in this regard to the Ghaziabad district magistrate.

Amit Jani, president of the Uttar Pradesh Nav Nirman Sena, meanwhile, has announced that he would not eat any food grain until the 'Bigg Boss' show was stopped.

"I will survive on fruits and vegetable until the government takes steps to ban the show which is promoting vulgarity and misleading the youth. Showing young couples sharing bed on national television is not acceptable and I am shocked that the RSS which claims to be our moral police, has not even taken note of this," he said.

This is the 13th season of the reality show which is hugely popular and has made celebrities of commoners as well.

    Whatever may be the content of the show, MLA is no one to ask for withdrawal of show. Let him mind his own business, take care of other serious issues like price rise, unemployment, roads, public welfare etc. Just because he finds some easy target to make money, he cannot just interfere with job of sensor board.

    BB is an entrainment program with some tasks, fights & arguments. On other hand, its an mind chill program. Even its scripted or not, but at the end, its an TV masala. Now why these lotus & kesarie team worried for it, may be because of Muslim host Salman. Can any one ask to sit & eat Bhramin Mahasabha members with non-Bhramins. Don't mix religion with TV & Cinema. Economy sinking rapidly & flights were protected by lemon. BB giving bread & butter for any families. If anybody don't like BB, don't watch it. Why no body worried to bring an strict & quick law for rapist by sitting hunger strike. Come on, be practical. Enjoy life by all the ways, at the end even after all diet & excise, we should have BP & Sugar tablet.

    If it contains adult content it must be banned. But who will control much more adult content on internet and mobile which is accessible to all age groups with enough freed data? and why there was much hue and cry when porn sites banned and government had to bow before the huge fans of it as ban removed???

    Do you think that UAE government (Ministry of communication) is so liberal to show any such vulgar reality shows for public viewing. It is not the reason if do not like do not watch. Why men always watch a beautiful women when taking a walk in the street. How the smart phones are misused (because temptation and easy access)
    It is not the choice of one taste (delicacy). Vulgarity in media/TV should be discouraged.

    One thing is true, BB Hindi version is trying to gain popularity by bringing in people like Swami Om, Dolly Bindra, Rakhee Sawant, Immam Sidiqi and the likes. But this time they went one step ahead by making inmate gents and ladies to share same bed as bed partners which is highly objectionable by all means. Just to gain TRP forcing inmates to do unnatural things by way of Tasks etc are very bad and should be avoided! What is right is right and what is bad is bad, irrespective of the Political party which voices!

    I love watching Bigg Boss because it used to entertain us to see celebrities tolerance to each other. This year sharing bed which i hate the most. It has to change its format. Another thing in India everywhere Beti Bachao and promoting feminism and women empowerment is advertised. Isn't it serials are the best flatform though there is unnecessary drama? Every serial shows women are suppressed and empowerment is not shown. Be it Preetha in Kundali Bhagya, Pragya from kumkum bhagya or now Prerna from kasauti. Please show how a woman can be a good homemaker (not cooking etc), like binding family and fights evil in the society.

    There are some elements from western countries who indirectly introduce there culture in our country. It's true in such realty show..there is nothing to learn. People are watching it as like addicted to opium. Better introduce as much quiz programmes and other good information serials in and around world...by which knowledge is developed. In kaliyug such bad things will multiply. Should be cautious.

    The BJP High Command will now ask makers of Big Boss to use some Nimboo- Nariyal to ward off evil eyes.

    Big Boss makers should learn from Rajnath Singh who protected India's Rafale from evil eyes of Pakis using Nimboo-Nariyal.

    This is 360 degree Raksha Kawaz provided by great Rajnathji as Rafale will protect India and Nimboo-Nariyal will protect Rafale from Pakistans fighter jets. What a masterstroke Rajnathji. Defence minister ho to aapke jaisa.

    I am not against anyone doing anything. This is capitalistic society. But hypocrisy is not right.

    for everything we blame westerners and end up raping, killing, adultery, prostitution. Name the vice it is there in our country. This should be stopped. Accept that we are also a society as corrupt as anywhere in the world in today's 21st century.
