Here's the operative portion of the press release (the language is entirely theirs, and linguists may spend years trying to understand what kind of creature invented it): /The petition is signed by Jainacharya Vijaya Ratnasundersuriji and three others and countersigned by Shri Vijay J. Darda, MP, Rajya Sabha. It has been stated in the petition that more than two-third of the India's population is below of 35 years. This large section of the population, which is the hope for the country's future, is getting digressed, distorted and distressed on account of the growing free sex culture through cyber pornography. Petitioners have further stated that Cyber pornography is creating an extremely bad effect on the adolescent children and even adults giving rise to various types of problems of psycho-physical nature, Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD), sexual deformities etc. This is also instrumental in raising incident of sexual exploitation of children. Today, besides computer and television, the mobile phone become a very handy source for adolescents to view such porn sites. 2. The petitioners have made a vehement prayer that steps be taken to check cyber pornography which is having an extremely bad effect on the country's youth as well as the adults leading to various types of social and medical problems as well as perpetration of crime. In this connection, they have advocated for amendment in IT, 2000, so as to make pornography on computer/mobile a crime entailing severe punishment to the producers, distributers and viewers of such sites. / About the only thing that may be verifiable in the petition is the names of the petitioners. Still, I wonder at the Acharya's certainty about cause and effect, not to mention his inability to lead by example, or even by teaching, that he should want to ask for unspecified changes in a bad law.
