Mangaluru: “The Ministry of Home Affairs has denied a security clearance for 33 channels run by Kalanithi Maran-run Sun TV group. However, this is only done due to the alliance Sun TV has with DMK” said senior Congress politician B Janardhana Poojary, at a press meet in the city.
Considering three cases against the Maran brothers and group listed with CBI and the Enforcement Directorate, the Home Affairs had denied the order although Poojary stated that, as the channel has brought out issues against the BJP thus the denial.
Speaking to the reporters, at the congress office on July 24, Poojary said, “Media is the power of the nation and helps the smooth regulation of the society. Every people’s representative needs to be questioned, which can only be done by Media” stated Poojary.
He further on a sarcastic note said, “When Ambani-owned CNN IBN can praise Modi, when Arnab Gowswami can bring out issues, then why is it wrong for a regional media to do so; it is not only the question of Sun Network but the entire facade of Media is under stake”, he said triggering.
He also mentioned the rise of journalist deaths taking place around the nation since the NDA has come to rule. The freedom of speech and the pillars of democracy are being subjected.
Continuing the tradition, Poojary, not missing a chance to attack the NDA government and PM Modi, he said, “Modi, your ministers a have made a ruckus and created a situation of emergency in your states, the Parliament session is in a chaos, why are you quiet?” he said.
Referring to Modi as Hitler, Poojary said, “Shiv Sena corporator Snehal Ambekar recently said that Modi was “concentrating” all power with him and compared him to Hitler, to which he added that their own allies have finally realized it.
