The ministry of information and broadcasting said yesterday that Hindusthan Samachar will not be the “sole source” for Prasar Bharati’s daily news feed; it will be one of “multiple sources”. This was clarified in the Rajya Sabha in response to a question from John Brittas of the CPIM.
The ministry added that Hindusthan Samachar “was providing services to All India Radio and Doordarshan in 1970s, even before formation of Prasar Bharati”.
