We can't blame only MIB this time for not approving licence of SS1 Bangla, Malayalam, Marathi.
Just only 1-2 months ago, they gave approval for so many channels including SS1 Telugu, Kannada and SMK SD, HD too. If Star had a real plans for launching of SS1 Bangla, Malayalam, Marathi etc, they could apply the licences for same at the same time, but they don't. They knowingly delay their plans.
