News AG cleared security license for Sun TV

[Technoglitch]

In a respite for Sun TV, Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi on Friday said that the government should grant security clearance to the broadcast major's 33 television channels. Mr Rohatgi's opinion was sought on the matter by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry after its proposal about granting security clearance to Sun TV was struck down by the Home Ministry.

Broadcasters such as Sun TV need a security clearance every 10 years in order to continue their operations.

Earlier, the Home Ministry had struck down the proposal to grant security clearance to Sun TV on the ground that its promoter Kalanithi Maran was being investigated for criminal cases.

Yeah if sun plans to take the matter to court then AG will represent the govt in court and finally per court order will have to grant license and it will be a embarrassment for the govt

Swamy going to fight a case in SC hoping for best as Jaitley used AG to contrary Rajnath Singh.

BTW if Suit Boot Ki Sarkar assured Maran then no one can do anything even 90% Govt. Min. can't.
