India bans Arab TV channels under pressure from Israel

06-08-2006

By Shahid Raza Burney

BOMBAY, Arab News — In a country widely referred to as the world’s largest
democracy, the Indian government has succumbed to mounting Israeli pressure
and ordered a nationwide ban on the broadcast of Arab television channels.

The Indian government’s ban on Arab television stations is in complete
contrast to the friendship that Arab countries imagine exists with their
neighbor across the Arabian Sea. It seems the ban is a move to ensure that
Indians do not get to see the atrocities that are presently being committed
by Israel in Lebanon and the occupied territories.

I have not seen this in Indian media at all. If this is true, then it is bad. Ban on any channel is unacceptable, unless it harms the Interests of our Country.

Re: India bans Arab TV channels under pressure from Israel

they dont want people to think Israel is doing anything wrong...its a shame indian people cannot see both sides of the story and have to rely on biased reporting from one side.

Re: India bans Arab TV channels under pressure from Israel

First of all there is no such ban the news is hoax

I understand that pak has banned indian channels and movies so arent we saling in the same boat

Re: India bans Arab TV channels under pressure from Israel

Most probably the news is hoax.

The news and the reaction show how the Muslim clergy make fool of Muslims and create a hate-sense in their counsious for other communities.

Just now I was watching Al-Jazeera on Indian channel.
