Giving another reference which he got connected in his Judicial career when a Govt in Tripura allocated 75% of advertising budget to their own paper, it was contested. In that reference, he said we can’t dominate or influence the minds of the people. Government should be fair to all newspapers.

Media is the strong pillar of democracy. Referring to the current state of affairs, he said Media doesn’t empower people with correct information any longer. Even if they do, they do so with vested corporate interest which is a danger to democracy. And he added that India is the only country that doesn’t have a tradition of paying for information. Here Newspapers are sold for Rs 5 which is not possible in any other country. So newspapers depend on advertisements for their support, which is controlled by the corporate world and is doing great disservice to society. Information is power. RTI empowers public opinion, he added.
Democracy is like a flower vase. Check it for its fragility before you buy. If it breaks it is not good enough to hold plants that spread the aroma. Democracy is in no way different from it, he said.
Another Panelist Mr Dileep Reedy recalled his association with Jaipal Reddy and two qualities—forgiveness and recognizing his own mistakes he practiced, which are good for any politician to uphold democratic values. But, unfortunately, democracy is being diluted by running after the corporate world.
We must protect democracy, he concluded.
