Lady MLA Cried In Assembly After Hearing TV9′s Deregotary Comments

It is learnt that when the CD of TV9′s abusive Bullet News episode was played for legislators in the Committee hall of Assembly, a lady MLA cried after hearing the derogatory comments made in the program against the MLAs’ background and their physical appearances. The senior MLAs tried to console her, it is learnt and demanded strict action against the channel for such deliberate programming. Some MLAs even asked for the TV9 staff involved in the program to be immediately arrested invoking house privileges. Another lady MLA seem to have complained about 2 more such programs running presently in channels that are even making personal comments on legislators, like their looks and language. However, CM KCR, who was in the meeting, insisted the discussion be limited to comments that are made directly against State Assembly and the historic oath-making as that is the larger issue. Other misdemeanors can be addressed through another meeting in future that can lay down some ethical code of conduct for the channels.

Consequent to that, going by tradition, the speakers of both the houses were handed the task to act against the channels going by the book. The speakers are reported to have solicited legal advice on the matter.
