The government has asked Central Board of Film Certification chief Anupam Kher to step
down.
Kher, appointed by the previous National Democratic Alliance government, received a letter from the
information and broadcasting ministry in this regard.
When contacted in Mumbai, Kher declined to comment, but sources close to him said that he actor
would not resign.
He would rather have the government sack him as he felt that the directive was tantamount to
questioning his credibility, the sources said.
