Chennai: Submitting a debate over Federalism, Chairman of the Minister of Tamil Nadu MK Stalin on Tuesday against the central amendment to the Cinematograph, 1952, collecting that the amendment was trying to restore the revision of the government’s union government, which was hit by the Supreme Court two decades ago , Stalin said the amendment would also eliminate the functional center of the functional autonomy certification.
If a film is certified to be seen by the public by the CBFC, it will fall in the domain of the state of the state, and therefore, it must be submitted to countries as law and order is the subject of the country, he argues.
“But now, the trade union government, with the proposed action, tries to conflict with the spirit of cooperative federalism and exceed the strength of the state and its own CBFC,” CM said.
He also strives to attract the demolition of the film certification appellate board that functions as a comparative body against CBFC.
Stalin followed up the representation of the Tamil film industry in this matter.
In the letters sent to Union Information and Broadcasting Minister, Prakash Javadekar and Law and Justice, Communication, Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ravishankar Prasad, said Head Minister, “Cinematographic Bill (Amendment) Bill, 2021, has caused serious concerns only In the minds of the film brotherhood and the film industry but also among all part-intended people who appreciate freedom of expression.
“The minister’s chairman said the draft amendment that seeks to restore the” revision power “to the center after being certified is the misuse of the” fair restrictions “clause based on article 19 ( 2) The constitution and the draft amendment oppose the spirit of promoting legitimate thoughts in civil society.
“Curry creative thinking from the brotherhood of the film and imposing conditions on them about how the film must be made truly cannot be justified and in fact, sufficiently opposite the ideals of our constitution.
Taking the right to freedom of thought will only weaken our democracy, which is always excited , Apart from the parties in power, “CM said.
There are certain provisions that have practical difficulties in implementation such as certification grouping wisely based on certain three categories and amendments that have made “films make industries very risky and uncertain” because of the provisions that allow the United States to direct the CBFC chair to re-examine the film after certification , Stalin said.
He added that it was considered excessive to add more law and act to strangle the freedom of the creative form in the 21st century.
