New Delhi, June 20: Asserting that the conditional access system(CAS) was not in the "interest of the people", Delhi Congress president Chaudhary Prem Singh today said his party would take to the streets against its implementation. The BJP government was trying to implement CAS at the cost of the common public who would be adversely affected, Chaudhary told reporters here.
"CAS will be an expensive exercise which the majority would not be able to afford," he said adding the party would whip up people's agitation if the Centre tried to implement it against "public will."
According to the schedule, CAS is to be implemented in the four metros from July 14 and parleys are on between the government, cable operators and the broadcasters for deciding the cost of services. Bureau Report
