Saturday, March 17, 2007, 19:42 [IST]

Mumbai, March 7 (UNI) The Discovery Communications India has sent a legal notice to Catholic Secular Forum for their campaign against the channel.

A release issued by the channel said recent press reports have ''erroneously'' claimed that the Discovery Communications India has withdrawn the television programme ' The Lost Tomb of Jesus' as a result of pressure from a local religious group.

This assertion is false and inaccurate. The Discovery Communications India had never scheduled the telecast of the programme in India, as demonstrated by Programme Guide, Monthly Press Kit and Website (discoverychannel.co.in),'' the release said.

The channel has not produced, published or distributed any DVDs or books relating to the above mentioned programme, the release said.
