High Court motion to be filed tomorrow
In the hours since he has been ordered off the air by President Bharrat Jagdeo, CN Sharma said public support and the loyalty of his staff have strengthened his resolve to fight the decision and he is prepared for a battle in the local courts.
Calmly but deeply troubled, he left the air at midnight on Friday but not after breaking down tearfully for a short while. Sharma said that at that exact moment he felt as though his life had been snatched by the powers that be and what had not happened to him in 16 years happened in a few hours — he was told to end transmission for four months. He is planning a peaceful march tomorrow.
