Hope there is an emergeny and all the corrupt leaders like Vadra, Jagan, Lalu, Sonia, Raja, Kani, Dayalu, Marans are thrown on the slammer, and other black market kings. That will be one good single-point program.

Didn't Hitler also come to power by promising to 'fix' the corrupt? We know what happened when there was 'emergency'/dictatorship in Germany.

If the ministry of information and broadcasting was to strictly, honestly and even-handedly implement the Programme Code, no TV channel would exist in India, news or sports or entertainment, perhaps not even Doordarshan.
The Programme Code is prescribed under Rule 6 of the Cable Network Television Rules, 1994. It has fifteen sub-clauses, from (a) to (o). Firstly, broadcasters should not carry any programme that "offends against good taste or decency." The incorrect syntax there offends my taste, but I'm not the minister for grammar.
Is there anything the government can't interpret as offence to good taste and decency? Should the government decide uniform national taste and arbitrate what is decent for 1.2 billion people? How tasteful is it for TV anchors to constantly shout on the top of their voices? How decent is it for TV news to ask questions and not let guests respond?
http://www.dailyo.in/politics/yakub-memon-chota-shakeel-modi-government-ib-ministry-programme-code/story/1/5546.htmlWe cannot let the government decide how we think, what is news and what is not news. It cannot take over the job of the TV newsroom's output editor.
If anything, these actions are proof of how insecure this government is.
