NDTV has attacked the Income-tax department and ITAT for the order holding that the former was guilt of perpetrating a scam which evaded tax on Rs. 642 crore. NDTV has claimed that the ITAT’s order is “unprecedented” and that it is an attack on the “freedom of the press” and is not in “national interest”. It is also claimed that the labeling of foreign investments as “bogus” by the income-tax department will deter foreign investors
