Haryana Vidhan Sabha unanimously passes resolution in this regard
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
The Monsoon Session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha proved significant in many respects. During the discussion on the adjournment motion brought by the opposition on the issue of law and order, concern was expressed over the growing trend on certain social media platforms of glorifying gangsters and criminals. After a detailed discussion, the House unanimously passed a resolution and agreed to send it to media platforms.
Moving the resolution on behalf of the Government, Development and Panchayat Minister Krishan Lal Panwar said that glorifying criminals projects their image as heroes in the minds of the youth. This trend not only weakens the cultural and moral fabric of society but also undermines the tireless efforts of the police force, which works day and night to maintain law and order.
The House expressed the view that all media institutions must refrain from any form of glorification of criminals and gangsters. Their names and photographs should not be published under any circumstances.
The resolution was passed unanimously in the House in which media platforms were strongly urged to consciously discourage the tendency of glorifying criminals and instead give priority to such ideas and personalities who inspire the new generation to follow the path of education, hard work and truth.
Vidhan Sabha Speaker Sh Harvinder Kalyan also associated himself with the resolution and assured the House that it would be conveyed to all media platforms on behalf of the Haryana Assembly.
