Banned from reporting on Jayalalitha Jayaram

The funeral has taken place of one of India's most influential and colourful politicians, J Jayalalitha. Tens of thousands of mourners, many of whom refer to her as "Amma" or mother, were there for her burial. She was however, not a woman to be messed with, as the 大象传媒's Anbarasan Ethirajan tells us after he had a run in with the chief minister of Tamil Nadu back in the 1990's.
