May 04, 2018 23:35

Union minister Nitin Gadkari today said young journalists passing out of Jawaharlal Nehru University have a "particular conviction", and though

criticising the government is a democratic right, the criticism must be based on facts.

"The young-generation journalists, who have passed out from Jawaharlal Nehru University, the conviction in their minds is clear," he said, without elaborating on what this "conviction" is.

"Even if they criticise us, democracy gives them the right to do so. However, it should be based on facts," the Union road transport minister said.
