Besharam Rang Row: Child Welfare Body Urges UP DGP To Remove SRK-Deepika Starrer Pathaan Song From Social Media
The Child Welfare Committee (CWC) has asked UP DGP to remove clippings of 'Besharam Rang' from social media.
New Delhi: The Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) has been strongly urged to have the clips of the 'Pathaan' movie song 'Besharam Rang' and other obscene contents removed from social media. The Child Welfare Committee (CWC) of Bahraich district claimed that they are having a "detrimental impact on the psyche of adolescents".
The Child Welfare Committee, Bahraich (bench of magistrate), has written to the DGP invoking the authority granted by the pertinent section of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2015 to report that it has taken a suo moto notice of obscene contents, including the 'Besharam Rang' song, that are being shared on social media.
Satish Kumar Srivastava, the president of the Bahraich CWC, and a four-member bench made up of Deepmala Pradhan, Archana Pandey, and Navneet Mishra stated in a letter sent to the DGP that the Uttar Pradesh government had given teenagers smart phones for their all-around development and that they could not be prevented from viewing widely accessible content.
“In such a situation, it is necessary in the best interest of the children that obscene content should be removed from social media,” the letter said.
Following the release of the song 'Besharam Rang', which features Deepika and Shah Rukh, on December 12, the movie "Pathaan" has been in the headlines and is the target of boycott demands. The song is drawing criticism for its lyrics and the heroine's skimpy saffron outfit.
Due to all of these factors, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) instructed the film's creators to make "changes" to the movie, including the songs, before it was released.
On Wednesday, it was announced that the makers of the spy thriller 'Pathaan', starring Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan, will release its trailer on January 10, 2023.
