Govt asks channels to 'create awareness' on I-Day in NE ; activists express outrage
Nagaland Post | Agencies | New Delhi, Aug 12 (
Under secretary Sombit Singh, who signed the letter sent to the National Broadcasting Association, Broadcast Content Complaints Council and Association of Regional Television Broadcasters of India, told The Wire, “It has been sent to consider not only giving coverage to programmes to be held on the occasion of August 15 in the northeast but also to make programmes that can create awareness about Independence Day among the people of the region.”
Alana Golmei, expressed “disgust” at the ministry’s action. “The committee suggested measures to create awareness about the northeast in the rest of India and not the other way round. The Centre doesn’t need to teach us how to be nationalistic and patriotic. Since childhood we’ve been celebrating August 15 and January 26 with utmost devotion, like children in rest of the states do. We don’t need lessons on it.”
