The row started when Mr. Allahbadia, the Bierbicepsman, asked a question to a participant in the roast show. He asked the female participant: “Would you rather see how your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or once participate and stop forever?”
The comment led to a stir. After complaints from various members of parliament, a parliamentary panel discusses about information technology whether Mr Allahbadia should be called up.
“The audience is always welcome to debate what good comedy is,” wrote Mr. Das. “A good artist will take down their feedback, closed mouth and maybe evolve. Anyway, the consequences of your comedy on your career and the public are fairly immediately. That is a natural process.”
Mr. Das then shifted his focus to the role of traditional media in the controversy. He claimed that regular media, which he described as “irrelevant” and “adjacent extend”, used the controversy to focus on new digital platforms.

You like the new media or not, is not relevant, “he wrote.
“That is also what happens here. And while they debate about what good comedy is, debate please what good journalism is, and the news they should do, the questions they should ask and who they should ask them,” ” Mr. “Das added.
