NGO launches signature campaign to protest ill treatment meted to infants on a reality show
Although the petition filed by Pune Childline, a NGO,u00a0 against the television show Pati, Patni Aur Woh received a cold response, Dnyanadevi Anuradha Sahasrabuddhe, president of the organisation, is in no mood to give up.
On her request, Bal Sena, the NGO's child crusader unit, has started a signature campaign to protest against the treatment meted to infants on the show. The unit aims to collect 5,000 signatures by tomorrow.
"The channel has exploited the infants for TRPs. We will not rest until action is taken against the show," said Rucha Gadre (16), who collected 52 signatures yesterday. Gautami Joshi (13), another member, collected over 60 signatures from a single school yesterday.
Sahasrabuddhe said they will send the signatures and a handwritten letter by Bal Sena crusaders to the channel and other organisations.
