A crisis of confidence

It is said that Indian democracy rests on four pillars namely judiciary, executive, legislature and media and all have prominent role to play in strengthening democracy.

The tussle in Uttar Pradesh is due to the resultant of supremacy between media and government (Police action against scribe condemned, June 10 ).

While the media misused freedom of the press and broadcasted defamatory content against Chief Minister, the government lost restraint and indulged in arrest spree of journalists.

It is high time governor of the state intervenes in the matter and resolves the issue lest people lose confidence in our democratic systems.
