Modi for criticism, not allegation |
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that he was okay with dialogue and healthy criticism of his government, but on Jan 3 warned the media against excessive allegations as it weakened democracy. He urged people to sharpen their skills of criticism as he lamented that today allegations had replaced constructive criticism. For constructive criticism one needs thorough analysis, Modi said at the platinum jubilee celebrations of a Marathi newspaper at Kolhapur. He regretted that allegations have replaced criticism. There should be space for samvad (discussion) and vivad (controversy) and the view generated after that will enable us to reveal the truth, he said. The Prime Minister also said that for a healthy democracy, the role of the media was the utmost as the trustworthiness associated with news brought with it a big responsibility.
