The Indian government Tuesday said 24 foreign TV channels have been
denied permission to telecast in India as they have either not sought
permission for down-linking or such permission has not been given.
External affairs ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said at a media
briefing that the information and broadcasting ministry in its Dec 4
reply in the Lok Sabha on the issue had said that under Indian laws,
"you require permission for down-linking of TV channels to India".
"There are approximately more than 90 TV channels which are of foreign
origin which are down-linked legally in India. Any other channel which
has not sought this permission is technically in violation of our
norms and regulations," he said.
The 24 TV channels are "the ones which neither have sought that
permission nor has such permission been given. That is where it is,"
he added.
The spokesperson added that the information and broadcasting
ministry's answer said that "some of these TV channels are, in the
view of some of our agencies, considered to carry anti-national
information".
