Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao's threats to media met with a volley of criticism from I&B minister Prakash Javadekar, Press Council of India and industry bodies which objected to the language and the threat to freedom of speech.
Speaking in Hyderabad, Javadekar said that "dadagiri'' should be used for development work instead of threatening media. "I want to make an appeal to the Chief Minister and the ruling party. If 'dadagiri' (bossing around) is to be shown, show it towards what is going wrong. Do development, we will help. Centre and the state together, we will make Telangana better. There is no need for speaking the language of burying the media. Media should also be responsible. The language of burying media should be buried. We should understand this," he said.
