The print media must refrain from publishing any content on the Ram temple consecration that may be “false or manipulated or has the potential to disturb communal harmony or public order”, the Press Council of India said yesterday.
In a press release, the Press Council said the information and broadcasting ministry had “observed that certain unverified, provocative and fake messages are being spread” after the consecration on January 22. This was despite the ministry issuing an advisory on January 20 instructing media platforms to “maintain adherence to norms and regulations”.
