New Delhi: The
government is "dead serious" in bringing to book all wrongdoers,
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Wednesday in a media
interaction.
The media, he told television editors, had played a "very
important role in drawing the country's attention" to issues
requiring corrective action.
"The media have drawn the country's attention to some aberrations
in allocation of 2G spectrum, the Commonwealth Games and more
recently some developments in the space organisation and Adarsh
society affairs," he said.
He began his press conference by saying it was being held on the
"auspicious occasion when we are all celebrating the birthday of
Hazrat Mohammed Sahab".
He felicitated all countrymen and women on the occasion of Eid.
