Banned stand

A series of bans have been placed on The Da Vinci Code in many Congress ruled states and Tamil Nadu, though the film has been cleared by the Central Censor Board. This leads us to observe that both of the mainstream parties are pro-ban in general but they only differ in their timing. The Congress prefers a pre-emptive, a priori ban that they claim anticipates social tensions. The BJP prefers the a posteriori approach, after demonstrable evidence.
