Their reportage, he said, would lead to serious consequences. “Barring one or two, I don’t recall any story of such magnitude in the recent years,” the chief justice said at the event. He added that “everything in our garden appears to be rosy”.
Ramana quoted Mahatma Gandhi . “The newspapers should be read for the study of facts,” he said. “They should not be allowed to kill the habit of independent thinking.” The chief justice said he hoped the media tests itself against Gandhi’s words.
