Sunny Leone - We should not treat her as a social outcast - PCI

The moral side of including Sunny Leone to Bollywood movies is much in discussion and most of the time she is considered an outcast among the press. Press Council of India's chairperson has come with a new view to what has been the hot topic. Justice Markandey Katju has stated that Sunny Leone should not be considered as an outcast or a person promoting porn in India, but instead her past should be left back at US.

"Sunny Leone was earning her livelihood in USA in a manner acceptable in that country, though it is not acceptable in India. Hence, if she conducts herself in India in a manner which is socially acceptable in India and does not breach the social moral code in India, we should not treat her as a social outcast," Katju said in a statement. 

Justice also clarified that there has been no proof provided to him about the actress promoting porn in India. Citing historical and religious figures, he said, "Lord Buddha stayed with the courtesan Amrapali and ate food served by her, and she later became his disciple.

"Similarly, Mary Magdalene was a fallen woman (according to the Gospel of Luke as interpreted by Pope Gregory) and Jesus allowed her to wash his feet and she later became his disciple," he noted. 

"There is no saint without a past and no sinner without a future," Katju said.  

The chairperson was speaking in regard to a complaint posted to BCCC or Broadcast Consumers Complaint Council, in which the Justice was marked as well. There has been reports of over 38 complaints against the Bigg Boss show for including the actress in the show. Although BCCC had clearly advised the channel that the show should not be used for any kind of promotion of her films, and on a closer examination the officials did not find any volatile contents that might stand against the show.
