Sharma said that the Indian TV channels were making exaggerated and unbridled propaganda about Nepal and recently the objectionable topics were aired by adding the names of the Prime Minister and the Chinese Ambassador.

Sharma said that the state should also be serious in this regard as the public can now watch the exaggerated anti-Nepal content on the internet even though they have stopped broadcasting Indian news channels.

According to him, the broadcasting of Indian channels of entertainment and sports will remain the same.

He said that almost all the channel distribution companies have agreed to stop broadcasting Indian news channels.
