Former Supreme Court justice Markandey Katju,
who is now the head of the Press Council of India, is facing a backlash from
the Indian media for suggesting that they have poor journalistic standards, as
opposed to this page.
Holding up a copy of Mail Today which had a
picture of the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge on the front page with “Kiss
Me Kate!” written below it, Mr. Katju said, “Seriously. What is this?” to his
interviewer, Mr. Karan Thapar, who nodded grimly.
“I want to have more teeth,” Mr. Katju
continued, examining his dentures. “I want the power to regulate the electronic
media, I want the power to stop government advertisements, I want power, power,
power!” he exclaimed with an evil laugh.
