Heckled by Mr. Satyamurti, in the current session of the Legislative Assembly at New Delhi the Hon. Sir Reginald Maxwell, Home Member, Government of India, admitted that no Indian was serving on the Committee that sees anti-Indian pictures on behalf of the India Office. Evidently the Englishmen still know what is good for India and Mr. Satyamurti should not question this privilege. Replying to another question, the Hon. Sir Reginald Maxwell said that he had read the article on "Gunga Din" which had appeared in "Filmindia" and thought that the article took an exaggerated view of the objectionable nature of the film. This opinion of the Hon. Sir Reginald is based on stray reports he must have got from interested quarters. Sir Reginald has himself not seen the picture and how could he possibly call the article exaggerated when we all know that the article was written by a responsible journalist who had the opportunity of studying carefully the shooting script of the film? An illustrious member of the Steel Frame like Sir Reginald is not expected to form opinions so lightly and on such flimsy material.
