Former Indian cricketer and Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh raised concerns over vulgar and explicit content on social media while speaking in the Rajya Sabha. During his speech, Harbhajan called for serious policy measures to regulate pornographic and harmful online content, saying the issue is not just technical or legal but deeply connected to society’s values and ethics. Harbhajan Singh said that in a country like India, where culture, respect for women, and strong family values are deeply rooted, there is a need for thoughtful policy intervention. He urged the government to introduce stronger safeguards such as age verification systems, content monitoring mechanisms, and strict penalties to prevent misuse of social media platforms. #harbhajansingh #rajyasabha #indianparliament HT India is your one-stop destination for breaking news, sharp insights and compelling narratives on politics, culture, economy, crime and viral stories.
