If false cases are filed against journalists and journalists in the country, there is no one to listen to the ruling party with the police. This is a job that can deceive the world of journalism.
But it is the duty of the press and journalists to point out the mistakes committed by these parties and the mistakes made by the rulers. False cases, protests and conspiracies are being woven against them. It’s a blow to journalism.
“Don’t catch a thief, don’t catch a thief, don’t catch a criminal, don’t catch a gangster, don’t catch a ganja peddler, so what is that department for? Similarly, journalism said, “For us, political parties are not important, people are important. Journalism is for the people. Therefore, whether it is the police, the rulers, the political party, the newspapers concerned with social welfare are the ones who give voice to the problems of the people and publish the news.
There are only a handful of such journals. It is not acceptable in the country to threaten it with a false case or a cannabis case. Moreover, it is the responsibility of the ruling party and the rulers to correct it when they point it out. Why have people voted for you? It is in vain that you are in that position without even knowing it. Governance and power are not static.
God has given you an opportunity and if you don’t do it right, He will take the responsibility himself. In the same way, this is God’s mission for us. If we do not do this properly, we will be punished for it. In the same way, whatever work God has sent to everyone here, we have to complete that work properly. What happened without knowing it had to be corrected.
(Will the Tamil Nadu press officials now understand the purpose for which journalism is become? )
So, this party, this government, it’s not a big deal. Because it doesn’t matter if the people in the party here are social activists or social workers. But how can rowdies, anti-social elements, corrupt people and businessmen be accepted if they are called a party? It will be accepted by stupid journalists, stupid journalists. I don’t agree with that. We need you to do exactly what you have come for. Political parties should understand that this is the mindset of neutral journalists. Rulers need to understand.
If journalists have to be crushed, it means crushing democracy. If the Supreme Court frames false cases against newspapers fighting against corruption, then action should be taken against the officials who filed it. So, they will be trapped. Looking for cannabis for this, or looking for some criminal background, it’s not all right. Correct your mistake and do people’s work.
Today, I am watching many things that Netaji Makkal Katchi leader Varadaraj has said to neutral and honest newspapers and journalists. There is truth in any opinion he expresses. There is a nature to express. This is the strength of journalism and journalists. As the editor of People’s Authority and the Tamil Nadu Social Welfare Journalists Federation, he has said that if he files false cases against neutral journalists, we will fight against the law and file a case in the court.
