State justifies sedition charges against MP, two channels
The Andhra Pradesh government has accused the Opposition Telugu Desam Party and its chief N. Chandrababu Naidu in the Supreme Court of “pulling the strings” in a “deep-rooted conspiracy” hatched with TV channels and YSRC MP K. Raghurama Krishnam Raju to “revolt” against the democratically elected Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy government. The State government, in an affidavit, said in one instance an amount of €1 million was transferred by TV5 channel chairman to Mr. Raju. The State said Mr. Raju, considered a vocal critic of his party that is in power, was surreptitiously working on a design with the TDP, using certain sections of the media, including TV5, to incite communal violence, spur hatred and contempt against the government and hurl personal abuses at the Chief Minister.More Related News
