The CPI(M) in Kerala on Monday announced an indefinite boycott of Asianet News accusing the news channel of indulging in one-sided coverage and unfair practices on its debates as also meting out abuse to party representatives. M.B. Rajesh, former MP and CPI(M) state committee member, has been one of the most vocal critics of the channel. He spoke to Outlook on the rationale behind the boycott and his own experiences in a recent debate.
