Google has taken off its most popular video broadcasting website "YouTube".
Youtube.com is not available to Indian audience from yesterday i.e., 12th Jan early morning. The home page of YouTube says its under maintenance, but the real reason behind this is definitely India's outrage to one video which was published on Youtube on the 11th Jan which depicted Gandhi, India's most respected and popular figure in a shabby manner.
An official statement said Information and Broadcasting Minister P R Dasmunsi took serious exception to the airing of the clip, copied from website youtube.com, as it tantamount to 'an assault to the dignity of the Father of the Nation.'
The minister directed the I&B ministry to give 'due cognizance to the matter and take necessary action, as per law.'
Lets hope this gets sorted out and we get unconditional access to world's most popular video sharing website - www.youtube.com
