muslim community it said it would consider lifting the ban if sudarshan tv voluntarily filed an affidavit by monday detailing changes it would carry out to make the programme an investigative report the channel agreedappearing for the channel senior advocate shyam divan said the constitutional courts which always protected the right to free speech to the fullest would chart a dangerous course by resorting to pretelecast ban there is enough regulatory mechanism available in law and otherwise for those aggrieved to seek redress against an offending programme no one has challenged the facts and statistics presented in the programme he saidpulling out one sentence from here and there and then terming the whole programme to be maligning a community would be the antithesis of free speech if there was a view that muslims should endeavour to capture the civil services then there could be a counter view too the programme was based on facts about terror related foreign organisations funding zakat foundation which footed the fees for coaching of muslim students for civil services the channel has clarified that it has no objection to meritorious students from any community getting into civil services we are also not saying all the funds are terror linked but surely the facts have not been challenged and it is a national security issue divan saidthe bench pointed out the offending graphics and background videos of the programme as well as hate comments through the live chat sessions linked to the broadcast you have every right to investigate the funding of zakat foundation and present it to the public but the problem arises when you implicate the whole community can we allow you to go to this extent to target a whole community and accuse them of infiltrating the civil services what happens when you brand an entire community with divisive propaganda is that you alienate the good people in the community it said arguments will continue on monday after the channel files an affidavit detailing the corrections it will carry out in its episodes to be telecast in future
