The differences in the Indian media houses have been pretty visible for the past couple of years now, as they have criticized and slammed each other on almost every issue. The latest topic of discussion is the one-day ban imposed on news channel NDTV India by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry of India, as the ministry feels that the channel “revealed strategic sensitive details” during the coverage of Pathankot attacks.
Some are keeping mum on the matter while few are openly protesting the move and there are many who are even supporting this move of the government as well, calling it absolutely correct. One of them is the owner of Zee TV, Dr. Subhash Chandra.
Yes, you read it right! Dr. Subhash Chandra took to Twitter to support the government’s step on this matter and slammed NDTV India and Editors’ Guild in a series of tweets. His tweets got a good response from Twitterati who didn’t waste much time in expressing their own opinion.
Here are the tweets made by Dr. Subhash Chandra:
NDTV पर 1 दिवसीय प्रतिबन्ध नाइंसाफी है, यह सजा बहुत कम है! देश की सुरक्षा से खिलवाड़ के लिए उन पर आजीवन प्रतिबन्ध लगाना चाहिए था (1/5)
— Subhash Chandra (@subhashchandra) November 6, 2016
मेरा तो यह भी विश्वास है की अगर NDTV न्यायालय में जाए तो उसे वहां से भी फटकार ही मिलेगी (2/5)
— Subhash Chandra (@subhashchandra) November 6, 2016
UPA काल में Zee पर प्रतिबन्ध की बात चली थी तब NDTV, बाकि तथाकथित बुद्धिजीवीयों ने मौन धारण करा था, Editors Guild भी चुप्पी साधे हुआ था (3/5)
— Subhash Chandra (@subhashchandra) November 6, 2016
पर आज गलत को गलत कहने पर, कुछ लोग आपातकाल कह रहे है! क्या देश की सुरक्षा का कोई भी महत्त्व नहीं? (4/5)
— Subhash Chandra (@subhashchandra) November 6, 2016
देश की सुरक्षा में दो मत नहीं हो सकते। सरकार द्वारा NDTV इंडिया पर एक दिवसीय प्रतिबन्ध को मैं बिलकुल सही मानता हूँ! (5/5)

If Dr. Subhash Chandra got a huge support on twitter, there were some who confronted him with the extortion episode that has always haunted the Zee TV and some very bluntly talked about his closeness with the ruling BJP and made remarks on the Rajya Sabha membership.
Here are tweets made in support of Chandra’s statement:
सर दिखा दीजिए एक दिन इनकी फंडिंग कहाँ से होती है।
पाकिस्तान का GPS बना हुआ है ये चैनल ॥
देश विरोधी JNU को भी समर्थन ॥— कालभोज द्वितीय (@kockcha) November 6, 2016
Only you have the guts to say what is right & what is wrong!
@sudhirchaudhary @subhashchandra चंद्रा साहब सही को सही और गलत को गलत सिर्फ @ZeeNews ही कह सकता है क्योंकि आपकी अंतरात्मा जिन्दा है अभी।।

On the other hand, some users were against Chandra’s opinion:
