Censor Board member Ashok Pandit today tweeted his support to the probe on the AIB roast, saying, "I support #MaharashtraGovts inquiry into #AIB a porn show on stage. Did the police give permission to #AIB even after they knew what B stands for? Was the script of #AIB which was a stage play approved by the authorites which approve plays?"

While the Pandit censures AIB for using graphic language, his own derogatory tweet on Karan Johar, who had conducted the AIB's roast, and Johar's mother, who was in audience, has come in for huge criticism.

@desktopdiarist, for instance, tweeted his outrage, saying, "Henhji, who will censor this censor Board clown Ashok Pandit-ji? Did they coin the B in #AIB after listening to him for 10 mins, ji?"

What Pandit tweeted is far too graphic and vulgar and extremely bad taste for us to reproduce here.

The Maharashtra government, meanwhile, has said it will not exercise "moral policing." Maharashtra minister for cultural affairs Vinod Tawde first said: "Such vulgarity is a crime and based on facts which will emerge, the government will file a case against them."
