The controversy related to Ranveer Allahabadia is increasing rapidly. Amidst this issue, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Communications and Information Technology has directed the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to prepare a detailed note on the need to change all the laws related to media by February 17. This step has been taken in view of the increasing influence of new technological means and media platforms.
In fact, people have spread anger after Ranveer Allahabadia’s controversial remarks in the show ‘India’s Got Latent’. In this case, the show’s host Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahabadia are being severely criticized. In the committee meeting, members of various parties expressed strong displeasure over Allahabadia’s remarks and demanded strict action against him and insisted on ensuring that such incidents do not recur in future.
Police investigation and inquiry continues
Due to the controversy, several cases have been registered so far and the police have summoned many celebrities associated with the show for questioning. Recently, Apoorva Makhija, who was involved in the controversial episode, recorded her statement in front of Mumbai Police, although she tried to avoid media questions. Apart from this, actor Raghu Ram, who appeared in another episode of the show, also recorded his statement at the Cyber Cell office. A video of him is going viral on social media, in which he can be seen leaving the Cyber Cell office in a black car.
This matter is now pointing towards big decisions towards changes in the law and strictness on the media. It remains to be seen what action the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting takes on this by February 17 and what policies are adopted to calm the controversy.
