There should be an independent broadcasting authority

Dear Editor,
There are a number of things I can’t seem to wrap my mind around concerning the suspension of Mr Sharma’s broadcasting licence and the Act that gives sole power to the President. I won’t state them all. However, why should the media be censored by the President in the first place? That responsibility should be left to an independent organisation to maintain a certain standard, without denying people the fundamental right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press. People will always say things against their government. So that means that the President can exercise that power without restraint to silence opposition. That appears to be the potential for a dictatorship.
