RJD Leaders Confuse youtube.com with Bihar Govt. Website
Patna: March 6, 2008
 Showing their utter ignorance about the cyber world and Internet in general, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leaders in Patna on Thursday accused the Nitish government of including indecent, pornographic video clips on Bihar government-owned website 'Bihar Diaries' while demanding actions against those who put such images on the website in question.
Turns out the RJD leaders had mistaken the popular video site youtube.com as a Bihar site since there are some videos related to Bihar on youtube.com submitted by individuals not related with the state government in any form or shape..
Earlier, opposition leaders from the RJD, Congress, and Bahujan Samaj Party staged a walkout at the Assembly on the issue of 'pornographic material on a Bihar-owned website'.
The accusation sparked ridicule from members of the ruling parties who tried to explain what youtube.com was and how it functioned.
"Nevertheless, if you wish, we can ask our IT people to install filters on your laptops so you don't have to stay awake until late night," chuckled Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi.
