, 9 news, a view

The Supreme Court of India on Wednesday came down heavily on news channels for their coverage of the Delhi pollution crisis. Hearing a plea by a lawyer regarding the matter of stubble burning and pollution, the SC said that debates on TV news channels are causing more pollution than anybody with statements made in the court being taken out of context.

A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana added that these debates were often taken out of context and that almost everyone on the panels had their own agenda.

"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.
