FULL TRANSCRIPT
Thank you, Madam. The first question on celebrity endorsements, print and electronic media was good. We have had detailed discussions with Minister Ram Vilas Paswan ji on the issue. The print media does not bear much of the brunt for celebrity endorsements of products.
Despite having laws, many companies get away with it because of a few corrupt officials. There are many safety and warning measures like ISI mark, hallmark on gold, BSI mark but it has been seen that few dishonest businessmen get the necessary certificates in exchange of money.
Madam Speaker, as a member of the Standing Committee on Food and Consumer Affairs, I want to ask the Minister for Food and Public Distribution, does the government take any measures to stop adulteration by dishonest businessmen? Is the government planning any action for the misuse of ISI mark, hallmark on gold, BSI mark? Does the government have any concrete plans; if not, what are they doing?
