AGRATALA, Aug 16 (TIWN): Party attack on news channels are nothing but a hit on the fourth pillar of democracy. Knowing this, CPI-M has attacked on Doordarshan to popularize Manik Sarkar via independence day's mess.
Yechury said, " Doordarshan is not the private property of the BJP or the RSS. Its refusal to broadcast Tripura CM's speech is undemocratic and illegal. The PM can repeat homilies to cooperative federalism while instructing all his cronies to black out voices of the Opposition, including an elected CM. If this is not authoritarianism and undeclared Emergency, what is? This will be fought back by the CPI(M), people of Tripura and all citizens of our country".
However, as per the letter from the DD News, " “The message of Chief Minister has been closely examined by our competent authority".
The debates are going on but stuck at a point, "If can't decide what CM would say, how CM can dictate what media will broadcast"?
