Mumbai: The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on Sunday has sent a letter to the Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar urging him to impose a ban on the current season of Bigg Boss.
On the grounds of vulgarity, the members of CAIT has raised their voice against the controversial TV reality show.
The letter read: "We invoke your kind and urgent attention towards telecasting of TV show 'Bigg Boss' on Colors TV channel which is showing high level of vulgarity to the extent that is difficult to watch the channel in a homely atmosphere."
It further stated: "Our country's old traditional and cultural values are being tarnished in the lust of TRP and profits which cannot be allowed in a diversity nature of country like India."
Bringing his attention to the deplorable concept of 'Bed Friend Forever', the confederation claimed that it is against all moral ethics of the television world.
The CAIT members further stated that the makers of the show have forgotten that it is the prime time slot on TV when this show is telecasted. People of all age groups watch the show and "the current show has crossed all limits of ethics."
In a recent interview, CAIT National Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal said: "Each episode should be duly scrutinised by the Censor Board. What is happening in the show is absolutely wrong. It becomes difficult to sit and watch the show with the family. We will push our demands to Mr. Javadekar."
This is not the first time that the show Bigg Boss has become mired in such a controversy.
Back in 2017, the Tamil Nadu-based Hindu Makkal Katchi (HMK) party demanded a ban on Bigg Boss Tamil for tarnishing Tamil culture.
