The popular daily serial Jodha Akbar being telecast
on Zee TV ran into controversy during the recent
proceedings at Rajya Sabha
BJP MP Nazma Heptullah demanded in Rajyasabha
that the serial be banned for depicting Akbar as
tyrant who forcibly married and kept Jodha. Nazma
said that the serial was tampering history and
children are being shown history differently than
what they studied in books. Nazma was supported
by some of her fellow MPs. Minister of State for
Parliamentary Affairs Rajeev Shukla responded that
he would convey the sentiments of MPs to
Information and Broadcasting Minister and request
him to take necessary steps on the issue.
