Complaint Against A Radio Channel In Mumbai

A few days back, on 21st March 2008, a statement was made on the radio channel: radio city radio 91.1fm in Mumbai, in between 3.00-3.10pm. It goes like this:
"woh muuchh hi kya jise fera nahi jaata, woh ladki hi kya jise chheda nahi jaata." ('What Is A Mustache That Can't Be Curled Up, What Is A Girl Who Is Not Teased.')

This statement violates:
Fundamental Duties with regards to women and also violation of Self Segulatory Guidelines for the Broadcasting Sector, 2008. (content certification rules, 2008, theme 7: harm & offence, point no.8) It also misuses Fundamental Rights: Freedom Of Expression (Art.19) as enshrined in the Constitution.

Dnyeyam- Know Yourself has decided to have a take on this and ask the radio channel to publicly apologise for this derogatory remark passed on women/girls. We have witnesses who have listened to this statement.

We have tried mailing the letter (as written below) to the press and to the visual media so that they take this statement and publish or report it in their respective media; but with no success. We request you to go through the letter, sign it and forward it in your friends list so that it revolves through the internet and later on we can send it to responsible heads so that a stern action is taken against the radio channel.

We expect your support to the fullest in regaining sensitivity and equality amongst both the gender and both the sexes so that sexism through and in the media is controlled.

P.S.:

1) If you know any person or a group who have listened to Radio 91.1fm on that date & time please do tell them to contact us on dnyeyam@gmail.com

2) Please join the online campaign on the following url: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/obsceneremarks/

Thanking You.
In Solidarity,
Dnyeyam- Know Yourself.
