Sunny Leone's 'horrific' condom ad will lead to more rapes: CPI Leader

CPI leader Atul Kumar Anjan stirred a controversy by saying that a condom advertisement featuring former porn star Sunny Leone will destroy people's sensibility and lead to more rapes in India. “Now there is an advertisement with her (Leone), have you seen it? She is lying down...and a man comes to her. (They show the advertisement) in the morning, at night...an advertisement for condoms, it is such a dirty and horrific advertisement that develops your sexuality and destroys your sensibility,” he said to cheers from the crowd. Speaking at a rally in Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday, the senior leader of the Communist Party of India also sought to blame Leone, a former star of X-rated films from Canada, for the spread of porn in the country. “If such advertisements for condoms appear in the country's TV channels and newspapers, then incidents of rape will increase. It needs to be stopped,” Anjan added.
