Everything is wrong with using Virus as Chakra in National Flag 

Yes, criticizing the government and asking questions is our job but, to an extent. We must not cross our lines, not spread fake news and misleading information based on sources. It does nothing but, creates panic.

Using Virus as Chakra in National Flag is Responsible Journalism or Intellectual terrorism?

We are facing a pandemic, India is under a national health emergency and we are fighting a battle with Corona. In this time of crisis, the Government decided to go under a lockdown period of 21 days. Essential services were excluded along with the media to keep things at ease.

In this time of crisis, the media was excluded and expected to behave responsibly. So far, it has been great. Media is doing its best-keeping people informed about COVID and the current situation of the country. At times when people are locked down in their homes, we are their eyes and ears. In this time of crisis, people are trusting Journalists blindly in expectations of being heard and informed with correct information. Not letting them down, journalists are on field reporting with pride of national service but, some journalists are still attached to their old tradition of criticizing the government.

Yes, criticizing the government and asking questions is our job but, to an extent. We must not cross our lines, not spread fake news and misleading information based on sources. It does nothing but, creates panic.
