Deccan Herald was pulled up by principal director of the Press Information Bureau, Jaideep Bhatnagar, after the English daily criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies.
On May 13, Deccan Herald had quoted Modi under its “Speak Out” section, which satirically criticises quotes from prominent people by juxtaposing them with other quotes: “Last eight years of my service to the nation from Delhi (as PM) were dedicated to good governance and welfare of the poor.”
