Naam Munnottu: ‘Remove Kairali TV as the producer’

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: BJP leader V Muraleedharan MP has urged the government to revoke the order selecting Kairali TV to produce Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s weekly TV show “Naam Munnottu”.

‘Express’ had earlier reported that the government had replaced the state-run Centre for Development of Imaging Technology (C-Dit) with the CPM-controlled Kairali TV channel to produce the show through an arbitrary selection process.

Muraleedharan said the Chief Minister has now deemed the government as a sub-centre of the party. “Even classified documents can be accessed by the production agency. The Kairali TV is now given an opportunity to misuse the government machinery,” he said in a statement.
