The I and B Ministry's 24 hour ban on NDTV India gave anchor Ravish Kumar the trigger for a long satirical take-off on Friday night on a voiceless democracy, his most free-wheeling, self-indulgent and extended special show yet, featuring two mime artists. It was titled "if we can't ask questions what can we do". He also reiterated all the messages of support for NDTV from around the country. Getting lost in all this is the fact that the ban (unwarranted, certainly) was a penalty not for asking questions, but for doing live coverage of a terror operation.
