Tripura CM alleges DD refused to broadcast his I-Day address
Tripura CM Manik Sarkar has alleged that Prasar Bharati, the autonomous body that governs Doordarshan and All India Radio, refused to broadcast his pre-recorded Independence day address unless he “reshaped” it. The speech reportedly had references to “gau raksha” and “attacks on minorities”, which Prasar Bharati found inappropriate for the occasion. Sarkar condemned the decision as "undemocratic."
