Aamir Khan’s ‘Satyamev Jayate’ impact: Madhya Pradesh suspends licence of 65 MTP centres
However, right now it seems that this is more of a knee-jerk reaction to the episode than a sincere attempt towards solving the problem. These centres have lost their licences not because of any actual proof about them being involved in illegal sex determination tests. Instead, the concerned state health officials claim that these centres have not submitted their reports according to the prescribed format. They have further stated that if these centres submit their reports by Monday, the suspension will be annulled. It is even unclear whether these centres are actually involved in anything illegal at all.
In his show, Aamir had questioned the attitude only of the Rajasthan government which failed to take action against the doctors exposed in a sting operation seven years ago. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had confirmed that he would be meeting Aamir today (May 9) to discuss the issue. “Satyamev Jayate is a great and extra ordinary initiative to root out female foeticide. I am eager to have a fruitful dialogue with Aamir on May 9,” tweeted Gehlot.
Only time will tell whether the show will be able to sustain the impact it has created over the next few episodes.

What do you mean by knee-jerk reaction? Any action and positive step is better than no steps at all! It is nothing but amazing for a TV show to have made such impact! Hats off to Aamir Khan and team of Satyamev Jayate for pulling off the impossible!
