Congress leader Pawan Khera addressed the recent controversy surrounding the INDIA alliance`s decision to refrain from engaging with certain TV anchors, emphasizing that it is not a blacklist but a "non-cooperation" movement, stated an ANI report. Khera stated that leaders from the opposition bloc would reconsider their stance if they perceived a change in the conduct of the 14 named journalists.

"We have not banned, boycotted, or blacklisted anyone. This is a non-cooperation movement, and we will not collaborate with those spreading hatred in society... They are not our enemies," clarified Khera during a press conference held ahead of the Congress Working Committee`s two-day meeting. Khera, according to ANI, went on to explain, "Nothing is permanent; if tomorrow they realize that what they were doing is not good for India, we will again start attending their shows."
