New Delhi: Stating
that facts were sacred and should not be distorted, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asked the media Wednesday to be objective in
reporting on the country's affairs.
Answering a question on whether the current atmosphere would be a
dampener for investors, he admitted that this sort of atmosphere
"saps our self confidence" and spoils the country's image.
Urging the media to be objective, he said: "While opinions are a
matter of speculation, facts are sacred." Facts, he stressed,
should not be distorted.
"We owe it to our country", the prime minister told a group of TV
editors, "to be as objective as possible" in reporting on the
country's affairs.
