Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on August 15 said “there is a propaganda that there is no freedom of expression in India, but that is not the truth”.
“There are 392 news channels in the country which is more than even the United States of America which has close to 100 channels. This speaks volume of the freedom of the media and true nature of democracy in India,” he said, launching ‘ News18 Jammu Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal’ on the 75th anniversary of Independence.
He said he was a true supporter of freedom of speech.
