Karnataka government bans TV channels inside legislature
- 5 years ago
In a move seen as an attempt at clipping the wings of the media, Karnataka government is mulling a ban on allowing private television cameras inside the Assembly when the House is in session.
"There is a proposal to start our own channel on the lines of Lok Sabha TV; once we have our channel obviously other private cameras won't be allowed," Karnataka legislative Assembly Speaker Kagodu Thimmappa said.
He said discussions were on in this regard and "we have asked authorities to study functioning of Lok Sabha channel and give us a report. Once we have it, we will decide on it."
Information Minister Roshan Baig has already announced that the government intends to start its own channel to directly relay proceedings of the House on the lines of Lok Sabha TV.
