Working Journalists Association Prez appeals CM BSY against govt order to stop broadcast of Power TV
Bengaluru: The Karnataka Working Journalists' Union president Shivanand Tagadur has appealed against the government’s action that stopped the live broadcast of Power TV Channel. He said that hindering the live broadcast of the aforementioned TV Channel was not the right course of action on the part of the government.
The accusations made against the owner of the TV Channel is a different issue. There is no applicability to conduct the investigation, he clarified.
Hampering the broadcast of a TV channel is affecting the livelihoods of the many journalists who are dependent on the channel to provide for their families. This will force the families of those working journalists to the streets, he said.
“Therefore, we ask you to direct the Home Minister to lift the broadcasting ban on Power TV Channel, and ensure that justice is served,” said Shivanand Tagadur, in his appeal to the Chief Minister Yediyurappa.
