Ragav Chadha

โ€œIf you feel if there is any such complaint, then hon MP can give it to us in writing.โ€ Anurag Thakur said. 

Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP  Ragav Chaddha, on Thursday posed a supplementary question in the upper house of the parliament.

The AAP leader questioned addressing the house: โ€œDeputy chairman sir (Harivansh Narayan Singh) you yourself have been a journalist and you understand the importance of news and how news is turning into noise.

โ€œMy question is simple, most channels in this country everyday from 5pm to 11 pm arrange toxic TV debates and create psychological pollution. My question is the government taking any action against such inflammatory channels and anchors?โ€ The Punjab based leader asked.

To which I&B minister Anurag Thakur responded: โ€œIts very clear, There are three levels in these cases. 1) The issue is resolved on the channel level 2) Its resolved on the association level if it does not resolve then it reaches interdepartmental committee. Till now we havenโ€™t received any such complaints of toxic or inflammatory programs yet.โ€

โ€œIf you feel if there is any such complaint, then hon MP can give it to us in writing.โ€ Anurag Thakur said.

โ€œIts a three tier system and if our intervention is required we wont step back.โ€ The Himachal Pradesh BJP leader said.
