If [Samajwadi Party MP Kamal] Akhtar is so disturbed by Sach Ka Saamna, I have a suggestion for him—change the channel.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Delhi High Court today threw out two petitions against the game show Sach ka Saamna<\/i>, saying “moral policing” was not its job, and advised those offended by the show to turn off their TVs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The judgment, ruling on a PIL against the show, is just as I’d have it<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

There are far more serious problems in this country which we have to settle… Our culture is not so fragile that it would be affected by one TV programme.<\/p>\n

I am not sure whether the show has brought out the truth of many people but it is certain that it has brought out the hypocrisy of various ministers and parliamentarians.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bravo. Given that the recent landmark judgment to decriminalize homosexuality<\/a> was also delivered by the Delhi High Court, much admiration comes. Would it be self-aggrandizement to call those judgments wise and enlightened simply because I agree with them? I’ll take that risk.<\/p>\n
