Twitter reacts to govt's restrictions on condom ads on TV

New Delhi: The Government on Monday imposed restrictions on advertising condoms on television, saying that advertisements would only be allowed to run late at night as they could be inappropriate viewing for children.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting further said that condom ads would now be allowed only between 10pm and 6am to avoid exposing children to such content and to comply with government rules.

Needless to say Twitter was quick to react with many people pointing out the redundancy of such a



move.

Television actor Ssumier Pasricha took to Twitter to voice his disappointment,

Instead of educating young Generation about safe sexual practice and spreading awareness, govt bans condom adds during day time? what r they trying to do. 

Another user, Darshan posted something more sinister,

No #condom ads between 6AM to 10 PM in India. Order by I&B ministry. Lol this country is going the taliban way. God save it.
