Just as health officials warn people and do not allow poisonous drugs, dangerous drugs and habit-forming drugs to be available to everybody, so those who are responsible for the affairs related to books should not argue that people are free to choose which book to read and let every harmful book be read. Books are spiritual food. If they are corrupt, poisoned and harmful, publishers, librarians, library officials, those in charge of distribution and others do not have the right to make them available to unsuspecting people.
