Over texts: Ashoke Pandit would be happy to see Censor Board chief Pahlaj Nihalani sacked

However, when we approached another Censor Board member, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, to comment on the news, he put it in a very simple way.

Although Pandit refused to talk, the social activist answered our questions in texts.

When asked "Are the reports of the current CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani being sacked true?", he had this to say:

Although it would be too soon to say anything, we are trying to fetch some more comments.
