Check corruption in Media Lokayukta urged

Minister for Minority Welfare, Haj and Wakf Mumtaz Ali Khan yesterday in a press conference said that Lokayukta should be given full powers to check corruption not only in the legislature, executive and judiciary but also in the media.

Yellow journalism is also widespread. In the recent past, news reports, articles and editorials in newspapers made an instant impact on Government and the people concerned. But, today even the best editorials fail to make any impact on the psyche of the society at large, let alone the Government.
