It is time that the civil liberty groups focussed on bringing justice to the Gujarat riot victims proceed en-masse against such media on diverse legal claims. Let me state here that 'whether a newsreport is inflammtory is a question of fact that is easily proved in relation to the bloodshed that ensues after the publication'.<br /><br />If we honestly believe here that vernacular media offer a substantial contribution to such crimes, it is imperative that those Gujarathi papers are taken to task.K.V.DHANANJAYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05545845529229026684noreply@blogger.com
