Govt tells NDTV India to shut down for a day

[hanuman]

You mean we should do an exact copy of the British? If we choose our own ways of penalising, it would make us lesser mortals?

BTW, even in UK license revoking is a process when media cross the red line.

ok

but if they go to courts

and court puts a stay
ten would you concede that
govt does not like NDTV

and then , will u openly blame that same govt here on this very platform ?

if yes, then I accept your logic of red line and all

Most of India does not like NDTV. We hate that channel and do not think it is a channel that works in interest of India. If the court faults the govt and puts a stay on its action, then I hope the govt finds another way to shut it down. Do you understand my stand?

next time read the article before giving usual dimwitted responses and spoil the entire discussion or better avoid such threads. NDTV is a usual culprit when it comes irresponsible reporting be it a riot coverage or an anti- terror operation , they have been criticized for the way they covered 26/11 attacks by security experts and not some political parties , just yesterday i saw an NDTV correspondent asking a police officer to give details regarding Bhopal central jail architecture and security apparatus on-air , the police officer thankfully declined to respond to that question , both their anchors & correspondents are brain dead and they should rather stick to their save our tiger campaign instead of covering an anti-terror operation , i am sure there are many other news channels in india who do that but i think it should first start with NDTV with a strict punishment to set a strong example. It has got nothing to do with press freedom as you moronically suggested.

Nope thats where the judiciary and the independent monitoring mechanisms like the press council comes in to play.. They can decide if a certain media institution did contravene ethics of free media

The moment the government force itself on the media with punitive action, That's where the rot starts, And can lead to disastrous consequences

Media freedom does not mean you and your government would only tolerate what you want to hear, All a rosy picture of India shining but also the other side of the story which might be a bitter pill to swallow, With the hard hit on your little ego

You see real world is not a Bollywood fantasy, Enemies of India dont go watching your sensationalist Indian news stories in order to launch attacks on the country, They're not B grade actors, Going on script

it is not the will of the people
but the constitution that is supreme

Let us worry about any disastrous consequences. It is our country and we have enough people with brains who can handle the situation. If and when we need your advice we will call you. Thank you.

The executive have quite a lot of room to work with and they have penalized this channel as per the media guidelines. It falls within its ambit as with any govt anywhere in the world. Income tax is not paid by most of Indians anyway, so whether the law is there or not, hardly makes a difference. The people win. Also the govt is going to abolish income tax within the next decade. It is the will of the people which decides the constitution. The constitution does not write itself, it is not a self created miracle. People make constitution.

Yeah you arnt probably one of them..

Btw this is a international forum and anyone can comment on any subject without contravening the rules.. So you can throw your toys out of the pram all you want, Wont change a thing.. If you cant handle other opinions best go to one of those Indian fantasy forums you will feel right at home in a circle jerk.. G'day

I do not want India to copy USA. I don't think USA is right about everything. It may be your ideal, not mine. I want India to chart its own course, decide how much freedom is reasonable and good enough for it. Total freedom is a myth anywhere in the world. Also India cannot and should never try to mirror USA. Our country, our situation, our neighborhood has nothing in common with USA. We don't have 2 oceans lining our coasts. We don't have Canada or Mexico as a neighbour. So please there is no way we can replicate situations within US without imperilling ourselves.

I will stay right here and tick you off. You are a known India baiter and your comments are worth being dismissed with contempt.

replace my statement of income tax with direct tax/indirect tax
and then rechek your logic

constitution is amendable

but bhai
after the Keshwnnda bharti Supreme Court guideline
you cannot amend it beyond a point
(basic structure cant be destroyed)


execuive action is on the weakest ground

because niether is there any law calling for this action
nor does constitution say anything of banning

this executive order
(almost like exwhile ADHAR card scenario, is very very weak logic)

go through Indian polity books,
and u understand my point

 

[django]

The order has been served by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) for the Hindi channel’s coverage on Pathankot terror attack, during which it allegedly reveal ‘strategic information’.

 

[hanuman]

we are no where going US way

in our place
even saying Pakistan is a good country
is called seditious

and where a cabinet minister uses foul language as calling people prestitutes

in our culture calling such name is abhorrent

No people in this country will not vote for abolishing all taxes. They have enough sense to know that we need a functional govt and other services which needs to be paid for. Even before political India was formed and a constitution was written, Indians have paid taxes right from the time of the Gods. So they are not such fools.

Banning NDTV is not destroying basic structure of the constitution. If all media was banned then you have a point, otherwise it is just the case of a wayward channel which has been not paying either taxes or following norms. The govt is well within its right to shut it down. There is nothing in the constitution which says we cannot ban any network either. So it is neither a weak ground nor an illegal act.
