| MUMBAI: Star Plus has sent its reply to the Information and Broadcasting Ministry, saying that its reality show Sach Ka Saamna has not violated any programming guidelines.
The channel was slapped with a show cause notice by the I&B Ministry on 22 July over the controversial content of the show, following an uproar in the Rajya Sabha, the Upper House of Parliament.
Star Plus was asked to respond by 4 pm today and it has met the deadline, sources say. The channel has clarified that Sach Ka Saamna is based on an international game show and does not depict any vulgarity or obscenity. On 22 July, the Ministry had issued the show cause notice to Star Plus seeking explanation as to why the series Sach Ka Saamna should not be taken off air. It said that the contents of the episodes of 17 and 21 July and earlier "are vulgar, indecent and against good taste and decency." |
