Trinamool Congress is the only party which has criticized the Biplab Deb Govt for shutdown PB24 and Opposition leader Manik Sarkar due to his personal ego clash with the media house has not also condemned the undemocratic action of BJP Govt. PB 24 is a neutral media, critical to all parties due to unfavoured news publication. However, in General, other CPI-M leaders have condemned the Govt action in their personal statements.

Though the reason behind the shutdown is unexplained yet, it is clear that on Abhishek Banerjee's arrival day, this TV channel went on shut down in the evening. Today is Day-4 of that shutdown.

Few months back, BJP leaders in Gomati and South Dists had burnt PB24 channel's partner "Pratibadi Kalam" newspapers' bundles beating the hawker for distributing the paper.

Communist backed newspaper "Daily Desher Katha" has also been unofficially banned (after the High Court did not permit to ban it) and hawkers are restricted to distribute its copies. 

Our media Tripurainfoway.com (TIWN) which is the only non-profit media in Tripura has been illegally blocked by Biplab Deb Govt with help of IT Dept at Centre. Surprisingly, after the Court's order also, it was not Unblocked.
