New Delhi: Permanent Parliamentary Committee on Information Technology on Tuesday asked for information and broadcast broadcasting Why it was unable to carry a comprehensive cinematographic bill (amendment), which included all aspects of filmmaking including piracy, film certification, and classification of films related to the age of content in one Go, instead of following the approach little by little to solve the problem.
Amendment February 2019 In the Cinematographic Law, overcomes the problem of film piracy, was examined by the house panel in detail and the report submitted in March 2020.
In April 2021, the government further changed the Cinematograph Law, to disperse the Appellate Court of Film Certification (FCAT) , the appellate authority filmmaker approached to challenge the decision taken by the film Certification Center (CBFC).
The latest changes, proposed through the design of Bill Cinematograph (amendment), 2021, is likely to be introduced to the Monsoon Parliament session, proposing to restore the strength of the government revision to boast decisions taken by the film Certification Council, although this was hit by the Supreme Court early.
Committee members, led by Congress MPs Shashi Tharoor, were studied to show the Ministry of I & B that filmmakers across the country were in the arms of the draft bill, calling it attack on creative freedom of film brotherhood.
Panel members, said Source, also tried to find out from the government why it seemed to need to restore the government’s strength to reverse the decision by the Sensor Board.
The ministry, however, was studied to notify the panel that the proposed change had been misunderstood and the Board would have the power to take final certification on certification and that changes should not be read as central sensor content.
Sources say discussions about the Draft Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill 2021 cannot be completed on Tuesday because of the absence of Secretary I & B Amit Khare.
As a result, the committee is expected to meet again next week to discuss why the substantive change has been proposed in the draft bill without carrying the committee of belief.
Apart from the objections raised by filmmakers from all over the country, Chairman of the MK Minister Tamil Nadu also wrote separate letters to the UNI Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and I & B Minister Prakash Javadekar on Tuesday, demanding the drawing of the bill and called the draft amendment “against The spirit of promoting legitimate thoughts in civil society.
“Stalin raised this problem after the film industry Tamil Nadu urged him to mark this problem with the center.
“I want to repeat that the draft amendment restores ‘revised power’ to the middle after being certified by CBFC is the misuse of clauses ‘reasonable restrictions’ based on article 19 (2) India constitution …
and this draft amendment itself is contrary to the spirit of promoting that thought legitimate in civil society, “Stalin said in his letter.
