SHILLONG, SEPT 1: The KHNAM- youth wing- complained to the Meghalaya Information & Public Relations (MIPR) director on newspapers carrying advertisement with sexual contents and requested him to put a stop to such advertisement. In a memorandum submitted to the MIPR director, KHNAM-SYW president Thomas Passah said, “We request you to look into the issue to ensure that such advertisements are immediately stopped.”
He informed that for long time now it has been observed that advertisement in section of the newspapers in the state contains publication of sexual enhancement medicine in various forms, which is highly indecent and improper affecting the young minds and public at large.
“The same is highly objected by the KHNAM State Youth Wing and such advertisement should not be encouraged since it will have several social impacts in the society,” Passah said.
According to him, such publication of such advertisement is a clear violation of the “Prohibition of Indecent representation of Women and Children Act, 2008” pass by the Union Government as given in Section 2 (a) and Section 2 (d) of the Act.
Also, the memorandum said the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisement) Act 1954 Section 3 (a) (b) (c) also barred any person from taking any part in the publication of any advertisement referring to any drugs in terms which suggest or are calculated to lead to the use of that drug for the procurement of miscarriage in women or prevention of conception in women, or for maintenance of improvement of the capacity of human being for sexual pleasure, he pointed.-By Our Reporter
