Digvijay Singh demands banning ‘India’s Got Talent’ calling it pro-Hindutva
New Delhi: Congress leader Digvijay Singh has asked for a ban on popular reality show ‘India’s Got Talent’ calling it pro-Hindutva as two of its three judges – Dharmendra and Kirron Kher are members of the Bharatiya Janata Party also accusing them of discrimination and biasness.
“They both are spreading the BJP’s communal agenda on national TV with the help of this useless show,” said Singh claiming that the judges praised participants from BJP ruled states while displaying a step motherly treatment towards those hailing from states where Congress was in power.
“Just last week a dancer from Gujarat was performing and both the judges clapped exact 29 times but when another performer hailing from Haryana completed his act, they clapped only 27 ½ times. Isn’t this discrimination?” asked Singh.
According to Singh, his statement is further cemented by the fact that when party colleague, Mani Shankar Aiyar went to the show claiming to be from Andhra Pradesh, he was booed off the stage.
“With all his experience at ‘The Circus’ which we also fondly call the Congress Headquarters, he went to the show as a joker and none of us doubted his capability. He is a natural at it. In fact he is a born joker,” said Singh.
But he was booed off the stage by the audience who I seriously doubt has been brainwashed by the communal judges just because instead of performing some tricks, Shankar started lambasting Kalmadi and co. for their poor management of the Commonwealth Games, said Singh.
Diggy Raja also claimed to have call records between the producer of the show Jadu Jhappiwala and a certain high ranked BJP leader Tintin Hadkari and accused the party of funding the show.
“The call records are safe in the respective telecom companies’ databases and I will produce them at the right time,” said Singh while he winked and grinned.
Dismissing Singh’s claim Jhappiwala said that he had already installed the advanced version of ‘Diggy Call Record Eraser’ in his phone so he was immune to such threats.
Further tearing into the show, Singh said it was a sham and the naïve citizens of the country were being fooled by the producers and the channel.
“Why are they wasting their time and making people believe that there is still some talent hidden in some part of this country? I mean India’s best talent- Rahul Baba has already been discovered and is being nurtured by me,” said Singh.
“What point are they trying to make?” asked Singh.
