MUMBAI: Music composer Vishal Dadlani will soon file a PIL (Public Interest Litigation) against television news channels that showed the movements of the armed forces live to the terrorists on national television for three days during the attacks.
“It is undoubtedly known that channels did a good job of keeping the viewers clued in with the latest happenings but there has to be some code of conduct when it comes to military or anti-terrorist operations,” believes Dadlani.
The information like the marine commandos landing on the roof top or our three police officers going to Cama hospital was highly classified information and should not have been shown live on national television. It is really disheartening that our news channels are risking the lives of our soldiers and fighters for the sake of a few TRPs,… says an angry Dadlani
