Senior journalist Mathew Samuel said that the action taken by the Central Government against Jamaat-e-Islami’s Media One channel was inevitable. Mathews Samuel, who has worked for various national media outlets, including Tehelka, has come heavily on the channel.
The Central Government has sent several notices to the channel regarding their activities. But the channel kept it all a secret. The action against the channel was not a good one. Their content was constantly monitored. But those working on the channel pretended not to see any of this. The channel violated the rules and etiquette of media institutions.
They remained silent when several innocent people were shot dead by terrorists in Kashmir. But when the army killed the terrorists and their supporters, the news broke against the country. The channel reported that innocent Muslims were shot dead by the Indian Army. Pakistan has used Media One to its advantage in international fora. Whether they knew it or not, they acted against India.
They also communalized the Indian Army. The Indian Army is the most professional in the world. It was that army that they turned into communalists. They took all the subjects to religion and tried to destroy the country, he alleged.
