Sleaze row: Drop proceedings against media, Justice Katju

Mangalore Today / PTI

New Delhi, March 12: Defending journalists who reported the porngate scandal, Press Council Chairman Justice Markandey Katju on Monday wrote to the Karnataka Assembly Speaker urging him that proceedings initiated against media persons be dropped.

"Some MLAs of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly were filmed watching porn in the Assembly. Instead of commending the mediapersons for their professionalism, proceedings have been started against them," he said.

Karnataka sleaze- Katju

In his letter to Speaker KG Bopaiah, he requested him to reconsider his decision and withdraw the proceedings against mediapersons, and instead "take strong action against the MLAs who have brought disgrace to the House".

The media which exposed such disgraceful doings in the sacred assembly, the temple of the people has only done their best. There is absolutely no fault in exposing truth and justice must be upheld by all right thinking people. Let democracy rule supreme and not worthless crooks!
