Today's Video Focus: TIn a complete subversion of basic rights and in shameful continuance of
the campaign to warn the media that nothing less than complete obeisance
is acceptable, NDTV founders Radhika and Prannoy Roy were today
prevented from leaving the country; they were scheduled to spend a week
abroad and their return was booked for the 15th. They have been stopped
on the basis of a fake and wholly unsubstantiated corruption case filed
by the CBI about an ICICI loan that was taken by their company, RRPR,
which was fully repaid with interest ahead of schedule. The case has
been challenged by the NDTV founders and their company in the Delhi High
Court where the matter has been pending for two years. Radhika and
Prannoy Roy have been fully cooperating with the case and they have been
travelling abroad regularly and returning to the country so to suggest
they are a flight risk is ludicrous. The authorities did not inform the
court, where the matter is sub judice, or the Roys, about today's
action. It is, along with events like raids on media owners, a warning
to the media to fall in line - or else.
