Kerala MPs across the party lines met Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on revoking the broadcasting licence for Malayalam News Channel Media One run by Madhyamam Broadcasting Limited.
Mr. Thakur, told the delegation that the licence was revoked because the Ministry of Home Affairs cancelled the security clearance given to Madhyamam Broadcasting Limited and there was little that his Ministry could do in this regard. The law stipulated that security clearance was essential for running any channel or news outlet, he stated.
