News Broadcast Standards Authority directs Times Now to telecast an apology on Oct 27, 9 pm for running a program in April 2018 calling author & social activist, Sanjukta Basu, a 'Hindu Hater' etc without seeking her version.
@sanjukta #NBSA @TimesNow
The order released on October 24 is on a complaint registered by @sanjukta in March 2019. Basu has moved the #SupremeCourt on Oct 23, 2020, stating NBSA sat on her complaint for over 19 months showing inherent weaknesses of the adjudicating process.

However, @sanjukta has stated that she would not be withdrawing the intervention application as her case deals with #NBSA's non-functioning and inherent structural weaknesses which are still valid. @SudarshanNewsTV @SureshChavhanke
In April 2018 @TimesNow called @sanjukta “Hindu Hater” “Army Hater” “Rahul Gandhi’s troll army” “vile creature” etc without giving her any intimation or opportunity to rebut. NBSA has now held Times Now guilty of violating principles of self regulation.

PIL ON ISSUE OF STUBBLE BURNING:

Supreme Court Bench headed by CJI SA Bobde begins hearing a PIL highlighting the issue of #stubbleburning taking place in states of #Punjab, #Haryana and #UttarPradesh. Image
SG Tushar Mehta: Central government has taken a holistic view and several ad hoc steps have been taken.

Central government is considering bringing a legislation on the issue which will put body in place with participants from all affected areas.

#SupremeCourt #StubbleBurning
CJI: Welcome step, this is something that government should have acted on. This is not a matter for PIL... The only issue is people are choking because of pollution and it is something which must be curbed.

Mehta: Must be curbed on war footing.
