PPP/C Member of Parlia-ment Anil Nandlall has said that a number of media operators have responded positively to his advice that they challenge the recently passed amendments to the broadcast legislation in court.
“I said to them that [the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2017] is manifestly and palpably unconstitutional and inherently authoritarian and dictatorial and it should, it must be challenged in the courts of law,” Nandlall told a press conference on Saturday at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition on Church Street.
The bill, which will update the Broadcasting Act of 2011, was passed by government following a lengthy debate, which started on Thursday night and ended last Friday night.
