Interpreter of news

When the BJP objected to Doordarshan8217;s telecasting the full speeches of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi at the AICC session on the grounds that it violated the Election Commission8217;s code of conduct in Gujarat and Himachal, DD had an interesting explanation. The AICC session8212;to all purpose and intent a full-fledged launch for Rahul 8212;was interpreted by DD as a 8220;newsworthy event that discussed international issues like the nuclear deal8221;. The public broadcaster is keeping its fingers crossed, hoping the EC is not watching it as closely as the Opposition is.
