Do not blame institution for individual's conduct
Do not blame institution for individual's conduct
New Delhi: Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee on Friday urged the media not to condemn an institution because of the irresponsible conduct of some individuals or groups who represented it. Addressing a predominantly media gathering after presenting the IPI-India Award to Indian Express here, he said the media's responsibility should not end with criticism of the aberrations and pitfalls in the system, of which the media themselves were an essential component.
"A healthy democratic culture can be brought about only if those who indulge in or abet [in] activities or behaviour incompatible with the established norms are made to account for such conduct individually or as groups, separating them from the institutions they happen to be associated with. An attitude of carpet-bombing is not going to help the system,'' Mr. Chatterjee elaborated.
