Atul Anjan, a senior Communist Party of India (CPI) leader, is the latest to criticize the condom advertisement done by porn star-turned Bollywood actress Sunny Leone.
According to Anjan, the reason behind the increasing number of rapes in India is the repeated telecast of Leone’s condom advertisement. He is also of the opinion that if such ads are allowed to be telecasted through “idiot box”, cases of rape will surely increase.
In a video that surfaced recently, Anjan can be seen speaking in a public meeting, lashing out against Leone. During the speech he claims that she is from Australia (which is not actually true as she is an Indo-Canadian) and has acted in vulgar film till a few years back before she was introduced into Bollywood by director Mahesh Bhatt.
“Open the idiot box and you’ll see woman called Sunny Leone. She is the heroine of the world’s most vulgar movies. I puked after watching her movie. Nowadays, one of her advertisements is being telecast on the screen where she is seen lying down on beach and promoting a condom brand. This advertisement develops sexually infected mindset and finishes off your sensibility. If such advertisements will continue to be shown on television then rape cases will certainly be an increase in rape cases,” claims Anjan.
