Press Club condemns Telangana CM

Mumbai: The Mumbai Press Club has condemned the banning of TV9 and ABN Andhra Jyoti channels in the newly created state of Telengana. It also denounced the state Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for threatening to bury alive TV channels that dare to ‘insult’ Telengana. Both the channels have been banned by Multiple System Operators (MSO) for their alleged anti-Telengana stance within few weeks of the state coming into existence. This ban is in existence for around three months. The Chief Minister also threatened both the channels with a privilege motion in the state assembly.
