MUMBAI: Delhi chief minister and AAP founder Arvind Kejriwal has called for public trials of news media in order to expose false news stories. Kejriwal gave the suggestion at the launch of a news website ‘Janata Ka Reporter’.
“Public trials can be done. Say, there are 8-10 fixed places in Delhi where the public comes and it is told such and such channel had shown such a thing and it was false. Such public trials can be started,” he stated.
Kejriwal on Sunday defended his Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar, who has been accused of faking his law degree. If Tomar had done any wrong, Kejriwal said he would have surely asked him to step down.
“A section of the media has tried everything to tarnish the Aam Aadmi Party’s image,” he said, adding that some media houses were conspiring against his party. “Just as AAP had exposed politicians, we will expose the media.
We won’t tolerate blackmailing. Media is with corporates but ‘janata’ is with us. Some media houses are conspiring against AAP, they have taken ‘supari’.”
