India's #MeToo movement has been a raging point of discussion at most film-related red carpet events, press conferences and festivals. But not at the ongoing 49th International Film Festival of India. IFFI was "not designed that way", a top Ministry of Information and Broadcasting official, said in its defence.
Filmmaker Subhash Ghai, who has been accused by two women of sexual violation and harassment -- both of which he has denied -- continues to be on the steering committee of IFFI, and in fact, occupied a prominent seat at the ongoing edition's opening ceremony. He was also a part of the inauguration of a multimedia exhibition 'The Mahatma On Celluloid' along with Minister of Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore.
