Mumbai Police Deny Asking For Cartoon’s Removal



Mumbai police apparently now deny having suggested to cartoonist Satish Acharya that he remove the above cartoon about Nationalist Congress Party Chief Sharad Pawar. The cartoon was published on the cartoonist's blog after an appearance in the publication Mid Day on September 5. As if to provide additional commentary about the fading effectiveness of print publication, it's the blog appearance that apparently spurred policy to contact the cartoonist.

The article linked-to above by someone named N. Ganesh is very thorough, getting into Acharya's story in great detail, too much detail for this to be some sort of blurted-out claim to bring attention. Also, as a result of the caller's request, the cartoon has through news reports, blogging, Facebook posts and re-tweeting been seen by tens of thousands more people than might have bothered with it in the first place.
