Sudarshan TV asks SC to livestream hearing on banned ‘UPSC Jihad’ programmes

Sudarshan news channel has asked the Supreme Court to allow live streaming of its proceedings related to restraint order issued to it from running its programme on alleged “infiltration” of Muslims into UPSC.

In an application, the channel said, “Lakhs and crores of viewers want to know about the legal proceedings conducted before this court and they want to hear the points of arguments being raised by the parties.”

The news channel, through its advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, claimed that it is very popular in the public. One of the most important shows which is being broadcast is “Bindas Bol” at 8 pm. It had prepared ten episodes after collecting different materials through investigative journalism for telecast in the name of “UPSC Jihad”.
