Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday said the central government’s decision was wrong.
The CM, at a press conference held at Thiruvananthapuram, said that without telling the channel or the people how it posed a risk to national security, its telecast was stopped.
He said such actions impinge on the freedom of the press.
Meanwhile, Madhyamam Broadcasting Ltd, which operates MediaOne, some of its employees and a journalists union on Wednesday moved separate appeals in the Kerala High Court against its single judge’s order upholding the Centre’s decision to bar telecast of the Malayalam news channel.
