I&B ministry to channels: Dont belittle PM speech. Information and broadcasting ministry on Tuesday asked TV channels not to juxtapose the Prime Ministers official Independence Day speech with those of other leaders, saying this amounted to a denigration of his office. In his I-Day speech this August, Modi had attacked PM Singh by challenging him on a host of issues, which news channels played against PM I-Day speech. IB said it was inappropriate and penal action could be taken under certain broadcast rules
