Since the Congress came to power in Karnataka in 2013,
TV stations have been blacked out, the police, citing court orders, have imposed gag orders on the reporting or telecast of incidents of crime, the home minister has gagged the police, and the education minister has gagged teachers.
This week, he instructed the police to arrest the editors of two Kannada tabloids, if they failed to surrender, for publishing articles deemed defamatory by the House Privileges’ Committee.
