Mumbai: The Maharashtra government today said "strict action" would be taken if cheerleaders violate the norms of decency at the April 27 IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Deccan Chargers here.
"When foreign dancers are allowed to perform in India, the government gives them work permits and performance licences to the organisers on condition that it should not be vulgar or obscene. If this condition is violated, then the government would take action," Maharashtra Minister of State for Home Siddharam Mehetre told PTI.
Hmm, didn't see the government of Maharashtra objecting when the son of the Chief Minister of the great state did his version of the Full Monty in a movie..Obviously nothing vulgar or obscene there...
The minister said the organisers may have invested crores for organising such matches. "But this does not mean that they make semi-nude women dance in front of people, he said.
"These are things meant for foreigners and not for us. Mothers and daughters watch these matches on television." he said.
Hmm, so semi nude women ie women showing their midriffs and legs and dancing in front of people are taboo in Maharashtra because what will our mothers and daughters think.
So, Siddharam bhau/dada/ji/saheb, what do you have to say about good Maharashtrian women exposing thier midriffs while gyrating in front of people? Or are you planning to ban the lavani too?

I'm of the strong belief that cheerleaders' presence heavily influences the boundary/overboundary rates. Batsmen loves to see them in action as much as the crowd and no wonder it's raining 4s and 6s. If Maha Govt indeed bans the cheerleaders, I'm afraid it would result into mundane low-score affairs.
It sounds odd, especially because till the other day, Mumbai was known as much for Bollywood as much for its dance bars.
Som,
thats what shucks me too... But then again, as Raj Thackeray said, these outsiders ( Siddharam Mhetere) are taking away the character of the city... :)
Cheers
Homer, good stuff. Siddharam is probably headed to a local dance bar once he finishes talking to the press.
Samir,
lol... That cannot be discounted :)
Cheers
all those people need to consider the world audience n stop making a big deal out of it. we cant really call those cheerleaders indecent...what about when we called andrew symonds a monkey...cheerleaders+cricket=:D
another thing.. no offence or anything..but what the hell is with the male cheerleaders..making us look gay.
