  • freedom of press but reasonable restrictions under freedom of speech and expression is quite important in this case.
    particularly when we talk about reasonable restrictions like incuring hatred/violence etc is understandbl but this is a live example to maintain national security.
    one of the reasons for 26/11 failure was access to info by pak based terrorist to guide their counterparts based on media info.
    but again the issue comes whethe such an outright ban in present day world is considerate...it ws very much opposed even in british times when tilak n vernacular acts etc used to curtail the freeedom of press
    but here we need to place a precedent , it should nt b taken as curtailing its freedom since the issue is par judgemntal
    best option is self regulatory freedom by press itself which is yet to come...
  • This sets a dangerous precedent ,that's all that I have to say.
  • #Dance Of Democracy

    FROM TOI :- " There are four critical points that need to be made on the NDTV hullabaloo: the government’s decision to take NDTV India "off air" was erroneous, the government’s defense on Saturday was unconvincing, the reaction by the media to this decision is overblown and dramatic and the media coverage on terror attacks is very often insensitive and thoughtless. All four are true and need to be measured in when engaging in a debate on this."

    FROM HINDU :- http://thehindu.com/news/national/ndtv-india-ban-a-security-issue-says-parrikar/article9309935.ece
  • Do I like NDTV? No because of its leaning towards Congress

    Do I support the ban? Absolutely Not
    A bizarre order to gag media.

    I HATE Zee TV because it has become a propaganda channel for BJP. But in future, even if Congress comes to power and orders a ban on Zee, I will still oppose the ban.

    No matter what, media should be free.
  • Yes. It is right!
  • I think other channels also cover terror attacks in same way, so why just target only ndtv?

    When I was in my grads. The first Hindi channel that I used to watch was ndtv India
    I found that pretty liberal, neutral and a lot of good debates at that time was there.
    I don't know what's the situation of today
  • Very happy with this ban. Enough is enough with channels putting security forces at risk with their nosey reporting. Not everything can be about money and viewership. I hope they learn a lesson or the government should teach them a harder lesson. They should be made to apologise on their own channel for the thing they are being punished for.
