India alliance had announced to boycott
India Alliance released the list of 14 anchors on Thursday, in which it said that it will not send its representatives to the shows of all of them. Controversy arose after this list and BJP termed it as Congress’s emergency mentality to control the media. Congress leader Pawan Khera on Saturday said it was wrong to call the move a ban, boycott or blacklist as it was a non-cooperation movement.
