The government has been keen on ensuring a smooth transition and on Friday finally reconstituted the censor board. Sources in the ministry said Nihalani's removal follows several months of feedback received by the information and broadcasting ministry from the film industry, which cited sustained harassment at the hands of the CBFC chief. It makes me feel that the government, the people who are authorised to take action, have finally done so. So somebody who is arrogant, like Nihalani, can sit in the Censor chief's chair and play God and interpret the Act in his own way. "Nandy also said CBFC is a certifying body, not one that can instruct people what to watch what not to watch.
