Deccan Herald published my following letter on 24 November.
Sir
BG Verghese is a writer of integrity and values who understands the nerve of the ailment and have rightly underlined the need for urgent reform in Press by bringing in a suitable law to discipline the electronics media particularly which has gone reckless in its responsibility.
It almost plays on your nerves when the news channels go on harping on the same news throughout the day just to settle their scores with an individual or party and serve as a tool to unleash vendetta .Justice Markandeya Katju has very rightly pointed out this malady and advocated for the need of a legislation to root out this evil which is rapidly sapping the vitals of democracy.There should be some institution to curve the irresponsible behavior of the print and electronic media.No one should
have a right to prejudice any person or institution I congratulate Deccan Herald to come forward to support the cause of the freedom of press and maintaining the dignity of the Fourth Estate.
Yours Sincerely,
GPBahuguna
