INDIAN PM DONS I&B MANTLE; NO CHANGE
IN POLICY
Prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee has
taken on the responsibility of information & broadcasting
(I&B) ministry with I&B minister Sushma Swaraj's appointment
as Delhi chief minister. Reports are that Swaraj has not
resigned from the Lower House of parliament, as she would
like to return to the ministry after the state elections,
which she is spearheading, in November. I&B minister of
state M.A. Naqvi says the Indian government will continue
to follow the broad thrust of the policies laid down by
Swaraj. He added that broadcasting regulation would be introduced
in Parliament in the coming winter session.
