Sensational at the same time controversial Film maker Ram Gopal Varma (RGV), in a group of Twitter updates, has severely criticised the ban of porn internet sites in India.
Calling the proceed “regressive”, RGV said prohibiting pornography websites is not an answer against sexual crimes.
“History proved it multiple times that if anytime anything is banned it will just gather strength in the underground,” he tweeted.
“Any deprivation of personal liberty of an individual by a government amounts to a regression of social progress of that country. It’s a proven fact by international surveys that instead of fuelling sexual crimes porn actually provides safer outlet for sexual repression,” RGV tweeted.
The director thinks authorities should alternatively try to make sure the content isn’t going to wrong direction.
