IAS Jihad: BJP govt allows Sudarshan TV to broadcast its show on ‘infiltration of Muslims in civil services’

Modi Government on Wednesday allowed the Sudarshan News channel to broadcast a show on what the channel called the “infiltration of Muslims” in the Civil Services, reported Leaflet.in

However, the Centre directed Sudarshan channel to ensure that the show to be telecast did not violate any programme code. Action would be taken as per the law if any violation was found, the govt added.

Sudarshan channel in its written submission before the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said that the show was not violative of any law and that if at all the programme was found to be violative, action as per law could be taken.

The Delhi High Court had restrained Sudarshan TV from telecasting its programme titled 'Bindas Bol', whose promo claimed that the channel was all set to broadcast a 'big expose on conspiracy to infiltrate Muslims in government service'. The plea in High Court was filed through advocate Shadan Farasat which argued that the TV channel’s editor-inchief Suresh Chavhanke openly indulged in hate speech in the promo against Jaia Milia Islamia students and Muslim community.

A two-judge bench of the Supreme Court, while hearing a similar plea with the same allegation had earlier refused to put a stay on the same show on Sudarshan channel.
