Don't Muzzle Media: Lok Satta Party

DVVS Varma said that there might have been deficiencies in the functioning of certain sections of the media, but that they are no reason to control or regulate them.
Hyderabad | 19th November 2011
Lok Satta Party State Working President D V V S Varma on Saturday warned against attempts to muzzle the freedom of expression guaranteed by the Constitution.

Addressing a media conference, Varma referred to the Press Council Chairman's comments against the media, and to the Bombay High Court imposing a penalty of Rs. 100 crore on a TV news channel for an inadvertent error. Varma said that these instances do not augur well for media freedom.

He conceded that there might have been deficiencies in the functioning of certain sections of the media, but that they are no reason to control or regulate them.

The media should make concerted efforts to improve its credibility while the concerned authorities should focus on a dialogue to arrest undesirable trends in the media, he said. (INN)
