New Delhi, July 9 (IBNS): In the wake of the ongoing probe into the Dhaka restaurant attack, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) has decided to stop transmission of Peace TV, an unauthorised channel run by Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) founder and president Zakir Naik, whose speech is believed to have motivated at least two youths involved in the terror attack, reports said.
Issuing an advisory, the MIB has asked all DTH operators, multi system operators and local cable operators to immediately suspend transmission of the channel, which beams from Dubai.
 
Peace TV does not have the licence to broadcast its programmes in India.
 
"It has come to the notice of this ministry that some private satellite TV channels which are not permitted by this ministry are being transmitted by some cable operators on their networks. This is a clear violation of Sub-Rule 6(6) of the Cable TV Rules under programme code and need to be acted upon immediately," the advisory read.
 
"All MSOs and LCOs are, therefore, advised to ensure that no unauthorised TV channels are transmitted by them in their networks. In case of violations, necessary action will be taken against the defaulters," it added.
