We stand with NDTV. Indian PM only loves those channels which spread baseless propaganda against Pakistan #NDTVBanned Stay strong NDTV

First they came for NDTV, but I said nothing apart from a snarky little tweet about it

Yes! the onus is on editors to set an example for generations of journalists. United we stand!! https://t.co/TN8byLwlEE

Not surprising that the I & B order came against NDTV India, one of the most credible channels on air. @ravishndtv

The one day ban on NDTV India is meant to test the waters on how united or divided the media is. Test for media unity.

Firmly worded Editors' Guild condemnation of ban on NDTVIndia. Correct to call it censorship, compare with Emergency pic.twitter.com/FDUU5myIBQ

#NDTVbanned: Editors Guild of India strongly condemns order as "direct violation" of the freedom of the press

An Emergency is declared by law, a Super Emergency is undeclared ,can the Ministery explain by what authority of law NDTV is being banned ?

While @ndtv has been banned for a day, @KashmirReader has been banned for more than a month. Both bans are wrong.

Editor's guild is right in describing the one day blackout of NDTV India as a violation of press freedom. It is blatant censorship.

- M K Venu (@mkvenu1) November 4, 2016

Modi said don't repeat Emergency. His Min says asking questions is anti national. NDTV banned for a day. If this isnt Emergency what is?!

- Kavita Krishnan (@kavita_krishnan) November 3, 2016

The banning of NDTV India is a shocking flexing of govt muscle over free media. Don't shoot the messenger!

- Sagarika Ghose (@sagarikaghose) November 3, 2016

NDTV banned???? Come on! When I last checked, India was still a democracy.

- Shobhaa De (@DeShobhaa) November 3, 2016

Easy to censor media. Didnt see any heads roll in security estb after #Pathankot or #Uri. For govt, its a 'lapse', for media, punishment

- Harinder Baweja (@shammybaweja) November 4, 2016

One of India's most sober and responsible channels NDTV India to be banned for a day by I and B ministry. NDTV today, who tomorrow?

- Rajdeep Sardesai (@sardesairajdeep) November 3, 2016

Govt pulling TV news channels off air is a dangerous trend. Don't want sarkari babus deciding what content they like and what they don't.
