National interest

I hate to admit this but how can cricket games be of national importance. Goddamn it, it is not even a world cup we are talking about. The Prasar Bharati forces the private subscribers to offer them the live feed to telecast matches on DD. This for me is infringement of rights. If it is of so much importance why don't you get the rights yourself. It is ludicrous that you make a rule saying the private broadcaster has to share the feed for matches of national significance. Guess what IPL may be a tournament of national significance. If the Information Ministry does confirm it an event of national importance, Good luck broadcasters!!
