The news was sent to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Minister of State for Information L Murugan. Therefore, it is very welcome that the central government has removed GST on these newspapers.
Because running a newspaper today is not a simple task. Those who have black money are running the press. How much struggle does the common man have to fight in the society to run a newspaper? Money on one side, politics on the other, society on the other, beyond all this, everyone knows the pain and anguish before the magazine reaches out to the people.
I have repeatedly informed the central government, the state government and on behalf of makkal adhikaram .People who don’t know what journalism is come to the newspaper and run it. Some people think that an identity card is a newspaper. Beyond all this, if the press has to run for this social good, how much work do we have to work for it? If there is no respect for that labor, for truth! There is a need for social justice in this field of journalism.
We have decided to move the court on behalf of the Social Welfare Journalists’ Association. Because it’s not one day of torment, it’s years of agony. We have to go to court in search of a dawn for that agony. Journalism is a shame for some people. Some people think this is journalism. Even without knowing for whom to run a newspaper, the newspapers are saying that I am the biggest magazine today. They can say because they have government support.
But what is the use of this magazine? That’s what people have to say. Those people should not be people who read and spell. They read the spelling and go away saying, This is the magazine. So, those who have read the paper, those who know the subject, they have to say. What magazine is that? There are many types of people. Today’s newspapers are the story of a blind man caressing an elephant.
The top officials and rulers of the central and state governments have not thought about this. Advertisements are given only to newspapers and television channels that advertise them.
One of the rules is that the daily newspaper and its circulation is all a wrong rule in the field of journalism and now that the circulation is also a wrong report, the newspapers are giving concessions and advertisements. When it is submitted to the court, the issuing authorities will answer.
Whatever you put in the daily paper, is it news? Or what is the truth that message tells people? What is its use? Putting all the unnecessary junk news, I am the press and I am the Identity Card, all these are important rules to change in the field of journalism.
If the competent newspapers are knowledgeable and the common newspapers are run for social good, if this one government does not give advertisements, how can we take the truth to the people? Our rights are being denied. Growth for our magazines is denied. This is why makkal adhikaram is constantly revealing this truth to the central and state governments.
The central and state governments should give importance to the newspapers related to national interest, social welfare and people’s welfare. But it is unacceptable that crores of rupees are being wasted from people’s tax money by the central and state governments for newspapers with commercial motives and political party motives. “We
have decided to send our newspaper to the judges of the Supreme Court and the High Court, and if it comes under GST, then anyone will have to upload their GST account online every month or month. If you don’t, you have to pay a penalty. There are so many problems in GST. Those with income can pay. How to bear GST expenses without income? That was the biggest pain for us. Also, when running this magazine is a big problem, how can you send another audit report monthly, monthly? It’s a huge burden for us.
On behalf of makkal adhikaram Magazine and Social Welfare Journalists, heartily appreciate the Central Government giving importance to our news and removing GST.
