M.G. Radhakrishnan, editor of Asianet News, one of the two Malayalam TV channels banned for 48 hours by the I&B ministry, tells Preetha Nair that the ban, which was later revoked, was a first-of-its-kind attack on press freedom since the Emergency.
I&B minister Prakash Javadekar said the ministry officials may have erred in drafting the notices to the channels.
