[icernet] 'Govt may regulate media content'

[Arul Selvan]

 Information and Broadcasting Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad cautioned
television channels and entertainment industry that government may have to
"regulate" content if they did not exercise "self-restraint".

"I am not for moral policing but one must not be insensitive to our Indian
culture. Why should MTV lampoon Gandhi and then apologise when we object? in
this country, we revere Gandhi as the Mahatma. MTV's caricature was in very
poor taste," Prasad said.
