TV show on ‘Muslims in UPSC’: Govt allows telecast, points to ‘no pre-censorship’ norm

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has asked Sudarshan News, whose controversial programme promo claiming a “big expose on conspiracy by Muslims to infiltrate government services” came under judicial scrutiny, to ensure that the show does not violate the laid-down programme code, while noting there is no pre-censorship of any show telecast on TV channels.

The channel, headed by Suresh Chavhanke, claimed vindication of its stance and said in a statement that it will air the programme, “Bindas Bol”, on alleged Muslims’ “infiltration” in UPSC, on Friday at 8 PM.

The programme had come under judicial scrutiny before the Supreme Court and the Delhi High Court last month.
