I&B Ministry is running CBFC

Chairperson of the Censor Board, Leela Samson, talks about the recent controversy, drawbacks in the system, and calls for a complete revamp.

Rakesh Kumar, CBFC CEO, has been accused of taking bribe of Rs 70,000 to clear a film from Chattisgarh, Mor Dauki Ke Bihav...


He wasn't the man for the job. However, the Ministry, in its wisdom, appointed him. I believe that he was under instructions in the changing political climate, not to refer either to me or the Board members, but to report directly to the I & B Ministry. That was exactly what he was doing. No Board members from Mumbai were called to view films, except for Nandini Sardesai who is still a member.
