Let the Commonwealth Games & insulated fun begin!

It won’t be just games during the Commonwealth, there will be fun too. The tourism ministry may be just expecting around one lakh tourists at the time but other wings of the government anticipate that they will indulge in heavy-duty extra curricular activities with locals, men, women and gays.

Agencies like the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) in collaboration with Delhi State AIDS Control Society (DSACS) and Hindustan Latex Family Planning Promotion Task (HLFPPT) believe in keeping things bare.

Taking “Athiti Devo Bavah” to an orgasmic high, they’re gearing up for a whopping five lakh acts of sex to be indulged in daily during the period and for as safely affordable price as Rs 5. However, the activities would be dignified, safe, free from exploitation and respect the base(ic) rights of all parties concerned.

It will all be quite above bed, er..board, not sleazy or shady. MoS tourism Sultan Ahmed told Parliament on Wednesday, in reply to a question on what steps the government planned to “forestall sex-related” tourism at the CWG, that all activities of the sort would be conducted in consonance with the code for “safe & honourable tourism.”

The code the minister earnestly assured the questioning MP was being adopted primarily to encourage “tourism activities.” However the code, which would be “adopted voluntarily” would respect basic rights of tourists and local residents like dignity, safety and freedom from exploitation.

Ironically, that particular questioning MP and former minister, Mani Shankar Aiyar, is known more for shooting from the hip, quite often without a safety net himself. Minister Ahmed also informed him that in view of the Commonwealth Games 2010, a workshop of “all stakeholders” was organised on July 23 to “sensitise them on various aspects of the code.”
