Role of Media

Mr M.Katju, Chairman, Press Council of India is a strong personality and known for his frank views on different topics. While delivering the Anna Endowment Lecture at Anna University on Monday, Sepember 10,2012, Katju advised the students to have love marriages and not listen to the parents because they are indulging in casteism, communalism, superstition and astrology.

He accused the media of dverting attention from real national economic issues like poverty, unemployment, education nad  health care saying that they were more interested in covering the lives of actors and garnering TRPs by showing "astrology, half-naked women and ghost stories".

One should fully agree with his statements and ideas. Atleast someone from the establishment side is speaking the truth boldly and openly without any fear or favour.

Sir, Kudos to your explicit and encouraging views on contemporary topics.
