The resource person drew broad features of what is happening in the media in a decade or so. She began her talk with a phrase – ‘Journalism is Life’. She cautioned the assembly about the recently widely spread information about the RSS going to start its news agency hence, PTI would be superseded by the RSS news agency
As reported by signis.com, speaking on Secularism, Ms. Charu Soni remarked that “When we have religion “RSS” sitting on the government then it would be soft on saffron. There was a feeling that the Church and Christians were missing on the ground during the Crusade led by the Muslims entitled Caravans of love which resulted in a feature entitled Christian litmus test.”
Ms. Charu Soni concluded her remarks by conveying to the assembly that Fascism is a project today which does not need to be distinguished between life and truth.
