By
Why Govt banned only NDTV for Pathankot telecast? It looks like simple decision of BJP government to ban transmission and re-transmission of NDTV for a day for disclosing sensitive information during Pathankot terror attack. But it is not simple as it looks like.  One and only aim of the government is to teach a lesson to all those who are uttering words against government. If not, then why ministry of Information and broadcast have punished only NDTV. NDTV Ban When Pathankot attack took place, not only NDTV but all news channels were revealing “sensitive” information which they probably get from sources of Indian Air Force officers (as IAF officers only aware about demography of the airbase).

According to police, 68-year-old Sukanya Hari Rao, a resident of Plot No. 53, Flat No. 8, Makarand Apartment, Hill Road, Gokulpeth, was walking towards home from a lane. Two men in civil dress approached her and said “did you know that a woman -- Laxmi -- was murdered in the area by robbers for gold ornaments. It was published in newspaper.” Apparently the lady disbelieved them, but to make their story more reliable, the men stopped a youth (probably part of their drama), who was walking behind them. They slapped him and forcibly removed his gold chain and put it in his pocket. Sensing trouble, Sukanya started walking away from the spot. A fourth person appeared on the scene and approached Sukanya. He showed his identity card and introduced himself a...
