The News Broadcasting and Digital Standards Authority has directed Zee News to take down a show – telecast in June last year – over Samajwadi Party MP Shafiqur Rahman Barq’s remarks against the proposed two-child policy. The NBDSA found the show to have an “agenda”, “lacking any facts or data”, and projecting the views of an individual as the “view of an entire community”.
Retd. SC Justice AK Sikri orders “caution” and directs for removal of this show from social media.

Order falls short of passing any penalty or telecast of apology. I had specifically requested for publishing apology on social media. pic.twitter.com/r6RBHTwgdd
