Press Release
Sunny Leone not an outcast – Justice Markandey Katju
Ch.PR/Misc/4/2012
Dated: 9.1.2012
14/443/11-12-PCI
I have received a complaint made by one Shri Dev Ashish Bhattacharya to Smt. Ambika Soni, Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting with copy endorsed to me. This complaint is regarding inaction of the Broadcast Consumers Complaint Council (BCCC) of IBF regarding cross promotion by TV channel Colors of porn actress Sunny Leone.
In this connection my opinion is that 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. I have not been shown anything to suggest that she is indulging in pornography while in India. Hence we should not condemn her for her past.
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 women (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.
Moreover, there is no saint without a past and no sinner without a future. We Indians are broad minded people and should therefore take the matter in that spirit.
