The nations wants to know, oh wait that’s a different channel. India’s one of the leading news channel NDTV banned for a day. Ordered by the government, NDTV had to be taken off air for a day after an inter-ministerial panel constituted by the I&B ministry recommended this action over the broadcaster’s coverage of the Pathankot terror attack in January.
The strict action received mixed reactions from the tweeple. We are nobody to judge anyone. So, as a platform giving voice to anybody and everybody possible.
Tweeple on NDTV Banned For A Day, Is A Mixed Bag Of Reactions!
Pak Banned All Indian Channels, We Avenged By Banning Only 1, That Too For Just 1 Day. Not Fair.
RT If You Want Permanent Ban. #NDTVBanned
