Tripura CM alleges DD refused to broadcast his I-Day address
Tripura CM Manik Sarkar has alleged that Prasar Bharati, the autonomous body that governs Doordarshan and All India Radio, refused to broadcast his pre-recorded Independence day address unless he âreshapedâ it. The speech reportedly had references to âgau rakshaâ and âattacks on minoritiesâ, which Prasar Bharati found inappropriate for the occasion. Sarkar condemned the decision as "undemocratic."
