Talks to air Bangladeshi channels soon, says Indian minister
India will talk to Bangladesh on taking steps so that Bangladeshi channels can be viewed in India.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni here yesterday said she already spoke to her minister of state Chandra Mohan Jatua on the issue.
“We will speak to Bangladesh government. We will look into it,” Soni told reporters in Kolkata after meeting Paschimbanga Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
The issue of viewing of Bangladesh TV channels in India came in Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's speech at Dhaka University on September 7 when he said commercial arrangements can be made so that Bangladeshis, when they visit India, and Indians can view those channels.
During Singh's visit, the state-owned TV channels of the two countries also signed an agreement for cooperation in audio-visual segment.
