I think press is still feeling threatened by the defamation laws which is legacy of UPA....especially regional channels are under pressure.....
Many newspapers stopped publishing political cartoons under the pressure since 2012....

Thats correct bro....thats why laws, rules & regulations are there which should be made to follow....

But I think now Leading news channels are creating meme of Modi - Gandhi via short animation films.

I didn't find anything so objectionable in it .

In the religious show, a Bible preacher was heard saying, “Oh lord, remove this person along with his sons (supporters) away from me.” The channel explained that this was a general prayer and “there was absolutely no mention against the Hon’ble and respected Prime Minister.”

Its interesting to know the background of the Sathiyam Channel & its promoters. Wikipedia has the following info about Sathiyam channel. It seems this channel is controversial....

"Sathiyam Television is a part of Sathiyam Media Vision Private Limited and has its Registered Office at Royapuram, Chennai. Started as a visionary dream of Evangelist, Bro. Mohan C Lazarus and under the pioneering leadership of Mr. P. Isaac Livingstone, with a desire to provide unmatched credibility to the ‘Fourth Pillar of our Society’,......"

Its not proper for govt to issue warning to a channel just because its critisizing PM. But at the same time using the channel for 'religiously maligning' the PM is bad......This is what one commentator said....

Now its upto the person to find what objectionable in this...So Sathiyam Channel should contest the warning in the court.....

^^ This is not required and totally awful if they can't digest PM of India then better shutdown the channel for 5 years, leave the country and return only when Modi were not PM.

They are saying that it was a general statement and not related to PM. So who were they referring this general statement to?
