The ministry had asked NDTV India to be taken off air for a day on 9 November, sources told PTI on Thursday, in what would be the first order against a broadcaster over its coverage of terror attacks. NDTV is examining all options in this matter." After the dark days of the emergency when the press was fettered, it is extraordinary that NDTV is being proceeded against in this manner. In fact NDTV's coverage was particularly balanced. Every channel and newspaper had similar coverage. It is shocking that NDTV has been singled out in this manner. In a statement released on its website, the news channel said that it was "shocking" to see the channel being singled out and recalled the "dark days of the emergency".
NDTV has responded on the recommendation by an inter-ministerial committee of the Information and Broadcasting Ministry that its Hindi channel NDTV India be taken off the air for a day after it concluded that the broadcaster had revealed "strategically-sensitive" details while covering the Pathankot terrorist attack.
