DD journo in a spot

IN Media Watch Briefs | 29/11/2016

Doordarshan journalist Satyendra Murli says he has been facing death threats ever since he claimed that the Prime Minister’s Nov 8 demonetisation speech was pre-recorded and not telecast live, reports Catch News. Murli said at a press conference on Nov 24 that he had audio and video evidence to support his allegation. His RTI application to the PMO asking when the decision to demonetise was taken has been forwarded to the I&B ministry and the finance department, he said. Looks like  Murli’s career in the government-funded public broadcaster may be in jeopardy.
