Remove obscene film posters: CPI

Hyderabad, Aug 17 :

 Communist party Mla Mallesh on Monday demanded the government to impose ban on obscene films and closure of the errant cinema theatres found screening such films.

Speaking in the assembly on Monday, he demanded that the government should ban sticking of all kinds of cinema posters on the compound walls of the educational institutions.

 “The authorities should close a town based cinema theatre, which earned notoriety for screening obscene films regularly,” he said.

He criticised the Censor Board for failing to curb obscenity in the films. Mla Chandravathi said the government should take steps to protect the Indian culture and traditions.

She also said the corporation should prohibit film posters that depict obscenity. Further, it should act tough on those who display commercial hoardings and advertisements promoting products such as liquor and other glamour products which portray women in bad light removed.
