KCR says Channels should salute and respect Telangana people
Hyderabad: Telangana CM KCR finally spoke about the undeclared ban on the two leading Telugu News Channels today. He said “I salute the MSOs, who take this decision. After all, why should we let anyone insult our people and their representatives? If they have no respect for us and our culture, then there is no place for such people on our soil.
They have taken the matter to Delhi level to pressurize my government, but it helps only to complicate the matter further. However, it is pending with Speaker and he has to take a decision on how to deal with them. Even all Telangana MLAs also have strongly condemned the channels attitude towards them. So, my government can do nothing in this regard.”
So, CM KCR has served the ball back into the news channels court. Union Minister Prakash Jawadekar has warned the Telangana MSOs that government will cancel their licenses if they do not revive telecasting of those two news channels within one week, but they replied him that rather prefer to go for a legal fight than succumbing to his pressures. Hence, both those news channels have to find a way out from this problem.
