MPs fight over reality show, say its against cultu

Mushrooming of television reality shows on Wednesday drew ire of members in the Rajya Sabha who said several programmes involve "dirty" content aimed at improving the TRPs.


Raising the issue during zero hour, Kamal Akhtar (SP) gave an example of a new television programme Sach ka Samna where a celebrity is asked to face a polygraphy test.


He said obscene questions are asked by the anchor of the programme and gave a recent example when a woman was asked in the presence of her husband whether she would have physical contact with another person.


When she said no, the polygraph test said the answer was wrong, Akhtar said asking what impression would be created on the husband.


Referring to programmes like Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Balika Vadhu, he said though the latter was projected as a serial on eradication of social evil, it was portraying child marriage as a virtue.
Many members supported Akhtar with Deputy Chairman K Rahman Khan directing the government to take note of it.


Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Prithviraj Chavan said the government was ready for a structured debate on the subject.


Several TV channels, engaged in fierce competition, have launched high profile reality shows at prime time.

i mean kya unhone sare desh k kaam nipta liye hai
kya unhone ye pata laga liya hai 26/11 kaise hua tha
kaise uski planning hui
kya hunhone pata laga liya hai kashmir ko kaise solve kiya ja sakta hai
kya uhonhe resesion se baachne k traika socha hai
kya unhone vo sar paisa jo swiz bank mein pada hai usko vapis le aye hai
kya vo sare case sulajh gaye haia jo court mein pade hai
unhe aur kuch nahin mila iske siwa baat keren k
unhe publicity chahhiye and they decided to get through this

@pinka- lolzzz i bet yaar ...these ppl do nothing except talking ...instead of juss sending out the notice they shud hav reasoned it out wit the channel n producer to make the questions more ethical n descent !

These MPs don't have anything better to do thank discussing TV shows?

they do ask questions to sensationalise and raise trps, that is a fact.

When these ppl don't bother to stop a show like Splitsvilla, I guess they have no right to question SKS.

MP's are scared what if they are invited to be on HOT seat??😆
