The Indian government initially slapped a 48-hour ban on two TV channels for what officials called biased coverage of New Delhi riots.

The Indian government backtracked Saturday after slapping a 48-hour ban on two TV channels for what officials called biased coverage of New Delhi riots.

Information minister Prakash Javadekar said Prime Minister Narendra Modi requested the ban be revoked on learning of it. A government order had accused the channels of covering last month's deadly riots in the capital"in a manner that highlighted the attack on places of worship and siding towards a particular community".

MediaOne called the ban"a blatant attack on free and fair reporting" and an"unprecedented and undemocratic action".
