Sub. Role of politicians owned newspapers and T.V.Channels in coming Haryana Vidhan Sabah Elections. You have appointed state level and district level committees to keep watch on paid news during coming Haryana Vidhan Sabha elections. But I take liberty in bringing to your notice that in Haryana about a dozen politicians cutting across party lines owns newspapers and T.V.Channels and they use their establishments for propagating for them or candidates of their liking which is more serious than paid news.Even before the announcement of polls, such news are being published in newspapers which comes under paid news. Even at present advertisements for candidates and development work carried by Haryana Govt. are displayed on T.V. Channels without mentioning the sources of advertisement.During last one decade politicians in Haryana had made billions in property deals and change of land use and by indulging in illegal sand and stone mining..In the elections money will play a major role even challenging the limit prescribed by the commission.You are requested to constitute separate committees at state level and district level to monitor the news items published in newspapers owned by politicians and T.V. Channels owned by politicians.You can get list of such newspapers and Channels from Public Relations Department of the State and they fails to do so I will provide in public interest.
