Telugu Desam MLC B V Rajendra Prasad, on Friday, called upon journalists to fight against managements that indulge in corruption to accumulate wealth illegally.
Rajendra Prasad found fault with the journalists who are fighting for justice and demanding the CBI to de-freeze the bank accounts of Sakshi group.
Talking to media persons at the Telugu Desam Legislature Party office, he said that journalists must not cooperate with managements that "established media house with the corrupt money".
However, he appealed to the journalists to fight for the freedom of press, their rights, and the welfare of their family members.
"Before voicing their concern for the freedom of press and the de-freezing of bank accounts, the journalists must realise their responsibilities, and fight against corruption and their managements," Rajendra Prasad said.
He also demanded that the government take over the Sakshi Group and provide job security to employees and journalists. He said that the TDP, when it comes to power, would use the entire tainted money for the welfare of journalists and poor. (INN)
