Order gagging media's voice, a mistake: AP Govt
Agencies | Hyderabad
In the wake of widespread criticism across the country, Andhra Pradesh Government today wanted to save its face by saying that the issuance of the government order on filing defamation cases against the media was a mistake.
"Issuance of the GO was a clear violation of the business rules," a statement released by the Special Commissioner of Information and Public Relations said.
Appropriate action would be initiated against the officials concerned for issuance of the order, it pointed out.
<b>The Chief Secretary J Harinarayana has been asked to inquire into the controversial order and submit a report within three days as to how the order was issued without the knowledge of the Chief Minister's office.</b>
The government withdrew the controversial GO No 938 on February 23, three days after it was issued.

Yeah right. It was issued without Samuel Reddy's knowledge!! How can a govt order by issued without CM's consent? If Samuel had any shame, he would resign accepting responsibility for his govt. Ofcourse he has no shame, being a congressman and all.
