Union I & B Minister Praksah Javadekar in a public meeting blames UPA government for discriminating policies.
He said that, he has come some files pertaining to a channel called Janam where the previous government had shown tremendous reluctance in providing the necessary licenses as one of its promoters was allegedly a RSS sarsanghchalak. “This should not be the case as the same principles should be followed for all channels,” he expressed.
“When I was reviewing applications, I came across Janam TV’s file and what I saw in the file shocked me to the core. The [UPA] government denied application just because some of the promoters had links with the RSS,” Javadekar said at a function here organised by Vishwa Sanvad Kendra to felicitate journalists.

RSS, Javadekar contended, was a nationalist organisation and to deny a licence to a channel just on the grounds that some of its promoters are linked to the organisation is unfortunate.
According to media reports, the channel is expected to be launched by October. Janam TV’s logo was unveiled in April by Malayalam actor Suresh Gopi.
