President defends action against Sharma

CN SharmaTelevision station licensee CN Sharma had his licence suspended for four months for the rebroadcast of the remark threatening the President and not for the initial airing of the programme, President Bharrat Jagdeo has emphasised.

In addition, Sharma successfully blocked Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon from hearing the case, leaving the President with no alternative but to hear the case himself, Jagdeo said.
