September 11, 2020 20:49

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday said in the race for TRP, journalism has been reduced to a position where it lacks substance.

"To protect the democracy, there is an absolute necessity of truth-finding journalism, the former UP chief minister said in a tweet, adding that the country has hopes from the mediapersons who do not sacrifice their values.

"Journalism in the race for TRP has become a tatva-rahit patrikarita," Akhilesh added.

He also posted a picture of his party's "9baje9minute" campaign, which was held on Wednesday to attract attention of the state government towards the plight of jobless youth. -- PTI
