Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu on 12th June urged the media to report "constructive work," not "destructive."
"Destructive work is bad news," said Naidu. Reminding journalists of their "sacred duty," the minister said the "media would do great human service" if it performed its duty.
Naidu, who addressed the media on the just-concluded first session of the sixteenth Lok Sabha, said he "did not intend to give a sermon" but it was "his duty" to tell them how to focus on constructive debate.
He again reminded the media of its role in society urging it to "avoid misleading information" and to "ensure accurate reporting."
Naidu said government spokespersons will keep the media informed about workings of ministries and all they needed to know.
