Arrangements are being made to telecast Opposition protests in the State Assembly on Sabha TV, Speaker A. N. Shamseer said on Wednesday.
Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan, in a letter to the Speaker ahead of the upcoming Assembly session, had demanded urgent measures to lift the ‘‘media ban’‘ in the Assembly and properly telecast Opposition protests on Sabha TV, the official television channel of the Kerala Assembly.
In his letter, Mr. Satheesan blamed Sabha TV for blanking out Opposition protests in its coverage of the Assembly proceedings during the previous session. He termed such tendencies “undemocratic” and sought Mr. Shamseer’s intervention in the matter.
