BHOPAL: MP home minister Bhupendra Singh believes pornography is the “main cause” for rapes in the state and has written to the Centre on Monday to ban access to all porn sites.
The BJP government in Madhya Pradesh has blocked 25 porn sites but that’s not enough and pornography should be banned altogether, said Singh.
“A study by the MP home department revealed pornography is adversely impacting childhood, with even young boys and girls getting easy access to it. Rapes and sexual assaults are a result of access to these sites,” Singh told reporters at the secretariat. However, he did not disclose details of the study conducted by his department.
‘Introduce a stringent law to control porn’
MP home minister said, “Though some 25 porn sites have been banned, we do not have direct control over such sites. So, we have urged the Union government to ban all porn sites and introduce a stringent law to control porn.”
