#AIB: Censor Board Censures Karan Johar

A couple of days after the AIB Knockout roast went viral on the internet, a censor board member tweeted against the 'porn show on stage', and particularly Karan Johar, who was the roastmaster at the event.

Karan Johar could have easily shown his position while performing sex to his mom at home instead of making it public.#AIB Porn Show.

I support #MaharashtraGovts inquiry into #AIB a porn show on stage.

— Ashoke Pandit (@ashokepandit) February 3, 2015

An unfazed Johar took to Twitter to reply to Pandit.

Not your cup of tea...don't drink it!!!

— Karan Johar (@karanjohar) February 3, 2015

A lot of voices came out both in support of and against his statement and the show itself.

So nice to see twitter is filled with such angels who point out hypocrisy n never use foul language n have nvr laughed at dirty jokes (haw)

So a man w/ no compunctions abt a truly vulgar tweet will decide what's "appropriate" for #Indian cinema-goers? #IncredibleIndia #AIBRoast

Last RT. Filmmaker & censor board member @ashokepandit tweets filth about @karanjohar. Is this acceptable? He should quit or be removed.

When you simultaneously piss off Salman Khan and religious nuts, you must be doing something right. #AIBRoast

#AIBRoast is what we all need; an ability to laugh at ourselves is a state of self-actualization. Bhakts, Sanghis, BJP acolytes can sulk!

Karan Johar's sex-parody of Tum Paas Aaye in AIB roast was one of the worst things I've had the bad judgement to see in ages.That's humour??

@GabbbarSingh @AngellicAribam Karan Johar is Gay...no one care about thatbut he should not reveal his pose...shame on him

"@ashokepandit: you seem to forget a minor requirement of consent of the participants. Which my favourite #AIBRoast had. @bollywoodsamba

#AIBRoast is way less offensive than the @BJP4India's Delhi election campaign.#DelhiElections @AllIndiaBakchod

Here is the quick impromptu roast of @AshokePandit if the Facebook page doesn't open @AGrammarJew #AIBRoast pic.twitter.com/1vL4SNNTlK

@ashokepandit I feel that the AIB roast was a complete Gay propaganda tool to subvert young minds.

"Don't teach me what is humour - I am the king of comedy" Exactly! Chaltey phirtey comedy http://t.co/sktcymVmHu

— CilemaSnob is now (@NotSoSnob) February 3, 2015

Achha mauka to do a photoshop of @ashokepandit kissing a Taliban mullah full on the lips. Like that #UCB unhate campaign.

Pandit later defended his tweets against Johar, saying he was only reacting to the way in which the filmmaker and the other brilliant actors used such kind of language which should not be spoken at a public show.

"They can't use the language in public that is not decent in any form," he said, adding, "the entire show was abnormal".

"I have reacted because I am a Karan Johar fan, Ranveer Singh fan, Arjun Kapoor man....I have very right to do that. And if they feel about my tweet if they are hurt about my tweet, they can consider it as an extension of their roast," he said in Jaipur.

As of now, the event and the stars awaits probe by Maharashtra government on 'appropriate clearences'.
