Debates on TV news channels are causing more pollution than anybody with statements made in the court being taken out of context, the Supreme Court . A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana said everyone has their own agenda and statements are taken out of context in these debates.
“You want to use some issue, make us observe and then make it controversial, and then only blame games will remain..,” observed the bench also comprising Justices D Y Chandrachud and Surya Kant.. Debates on TV are creating more pollution than anybody. They don’t understand what is happening and what is the issue. Statements are taken out of context. Everyone has their own agenda. We can’t help and we can’t control. We are focussing on working out the solution,” it said.
The apex court’s observations came while hearing a plea relating to air pollution in Delhi and adjoining areas. The oral remarks came in response to the submission of senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for the Delhi government, that stubble burning was one of the contributors of the air pollution which needs to be addressed and referred to the Centre’s figures on the issue.
