Blocked Malayalam channels resume broadcast

The Centre’ s temporary ban on two Malayalam channels Asianet News and Media One invited widespread criticism. Opinion makers, political leaders, scribes’ unions and noted personalities have registered strong protest against the ban.

Congress MP from the state and senior party leader Shashi Tharoor expressed his dissent through his twitter handle. “How on earth can Malayalam channels inflame communal passions in Delhi? Whereas the truly vicious propaganda channels continue their brazen distortions w/impunity. Asianet News and MediaOne are fine independent media. LiftTheBan now,” he tweeted.
