The controversy surrounding comedian Pranit More‘s stand-up show has now reached the National Commission for Women (NCW). Days after a viral clip from one of his performances sparked widespread outrage online, the Commission has taken suo motu cognizance of the matter, directed the Haryana Police to take action, and summoned both Pranit More and audience member Himanshu Jangra for a hearing on June 22. In an official statement issued on Thursday, the NCW said it had taken note of media reports and viral videos from a stand-up comedy show in Gurugram, Haryana, where remarks allegedly glorifying sexual coercion and non-consensual conduct towards a woman were made before a live audience and applauded. The Commission expressed concern over the way the alleged conduct was trivialised and presented as entertainment, stating that normalising behaviour that undermines a woman’s consent, dignity and bodily autonomy can have serious consequences for women’s safety and societal attitudes towards gender-based violence.
