Media should not become battleground for partisan politics: Vice President Dhankhar

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said the media should not get involved in politics and serve its purpose by being objective.

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday said media should not be a power broker and it serves its cause best by being objective and not getting involved in politics.
He also termed the debate over the Citizenship Amendment Act "orchestrated" and urged the media to play its role in such a situation.
The law does not deprive any Indian citizen of his or her citizenship rights but an impression is being generated differently, Dhankhar said.
"It is unfortunate that some failed to recognise the historical context and soothing impact from human rights perspectives to persecuted minorities in the neighbourhood," he said, referring to the Citizenship Amendment Act, rules for which were notified recently.
The vice president said the media serves its cause best by being objective and not getting involved in politics. "We know the ground reality. I will not reflect more on it," he added.
"The media has to only do its job. The fourth pillar of democracy is also accountable," Dhankhar said, addressing the NDTV Indian of the Year awards here.
He also said that the media should be an agent to convey the right perspectives to understand India rather than be prey to orchestrated narratives seeking to taint and tarnish the country's image.
The vice president claimed that the media cannot be a "registered recognised or unrecognised political party" and said it should take all precautions so as not to become a battleground for partisan politics.
The media, he said, cannot be a platform for the free fall of untenable information. "It damages our democratic fabric, it shatters individual reputations, it shatters institutions. If you start floating info without due diligence, it can wreck our economy, social fabric," the vice president said.
An informed public, Dhankhar underlined, is the spinal strength of democracy.
Misinformation can be ruinous and media is a natural watchdog to contain and curb such free fall of misinformation and falsehood, he said.
"If the media does not do it, then who will do it? There is an urgent need for media and media houses to reflect to have a mechanism in this direction," he added.
Dhankhar also referred to "economic nationalism", saying it is quintessentially fundamental to growth.
If India practices economic nationalism, it will save billions in foreign exchange, he said.
Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran, G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant, a group of scientists, including those from ISRO, and Dr Yazdi Italia, who works on sickle cell anaemia, were among those awarded.

Vice President Dhankhar: striking down judges' appointment panel unparalleled in democratic history

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday said the judiciary striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) Act in 2015 was "a scenario perhaps unparalleled in the democratic history of the world".
He said parliamentary sovereignty and autonomy are quintessential for the survival of democracy and cannot be permitted to be compromised by the executive or judiciary.
While referring to the Supreme Court scrapping the NJAC in 2015 -- which was enacted by the NDA government for appointments in higher judiciary -- the vice president said, "Such kind of a scenario is perhaps unparalleled in the democratic history of the world".
"The executive is ordained to be in compliance with the constitutional prescription emanating from Parliament. It was obligated to adhere to the NJAC. Judicial verdict cannot run it down," he said at the 83rd All India Presiding Officers Conference (AIPOC), "Parliamentary sovereignty cannot be permitted to be diluted or compromised by the executive or the judiciary," he further said.
His statement come in the backdrop of a raging debate on the issue of appointment in higher judiciary with the government questioning the current Collegium system and the Supreme Court defending it.
Dhankhar said no institution can wield power or authority to neutralise the mandate of people. He told the presiding officers at the conference that it is an obligation of Parliament and legislatures to protect the sovereignty of the people.

Discussing the 1973 Kesavananda Bharati case, Dhankhar talked about "basic structure" of the Constitution and said in a democratic society the "basic of any basic structure has to be the supremacy of mandate of people".
On Parliament disruption, Dhankhar, also the Rajya Sabha Chairman, said there is "disappointment and anguish" among people at the lack of decorum and discipline in proceedings in parliament and legislatures.
He further said disruptions and adjournments cannot be a political tool.
Before attending the conference, the vice president visited the newly constructed Constitution Park at the Raj Bhavan and described it as unprecedented.
A Raj Bhavan spokesperson said that Dhankhar saw the sculptures, photographs, models etc. related to the creation of the Constitution, the proceedings of Constitution Committees and the historical journey after the formation of the constitution till its implementation.
He also saw the artefact related to the country's culture created by the famous artist Nandlal Bose of Santiniketan.

After visiting the Constitution Park, he met Governor Kalraj Mishra and congratulated him for this initiative. He said this was possible only because of the governor's efforts.
The park was recently inaugurated by President Droupadi Murmu.

Bengal has become home to illegal bomb-making: Dhankhar on NIA arrests

West Bengal has become "home to illegal bomb-making" and the state administration cannot escape its accountability for the "alarming decline" in law and order, Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar said on Saturday

Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar said on Saturday that West Bengal has become 'home to illegal bomb-making' and the state administration cannot escape its accountability for the 'alarming decline' in law and order. The governor's comments came after the National Investigation Agency arrested nine terrorists associated with a Pakistan-sponsored module of the al-Qaeda from several locations in West Bengal's Murshidabad and Kerala's Ernakulam early on Saturday. The governor alleged the state director general of police is distanced far from reality and his 'ostrich stance' is 'very disturbing'.

PTI,&nbsp;Kolkata:&nbsp;West Bengal has become "home to illegal bomb-making" and the state administration cannot escape its accountability for the "alarming decline" in law and order, Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar said on Saturday.
The governor's comments came after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested nine terrorists associated with a Pakistan-sponsored module of the al-Qaeda from several locations in West Bengal's Murshidabad and Kerala's Ernakulam early on Saturday.
"State has become home to illegal bomb making that has the potential to unsettle democracy. Police @MamataOfficial busy in carrying out political errands and taking on the opposition. Those at helm @WBPolice cannot escape their accountability for this alarming decline in law and order," Dhankhar tweeted.
The governor alleged the state director general of police is distanced far from reality and his "ostrich stance" is "very disturbing".
"How far distanced is DGP @WBPolice from reality is cause of worry. His 'Ostrich Stance' is very disturbing.
Appreciate the role of policemen in general-they are working in difficult situations. Problem is with those at the helm who are unmindful of conduct and are politically guided," Dhankhar said in another Twitter post.
The governor, who has had regular run-ins with the Mamata Banerjee dispensation on several issues, had on earlier occasions accused the police and administration in the state of playing a partisan role and causing harassment to leaders and workers of opposition parties.&nbsp;
