Personal experiences shared with us tell harrowing stories of Indian families ripped apart and friendships torn due to the constant barrage of media hysteria and anxiety-fuelled narratives. These 24/7 news channels have completely taken over the practice of ground reportage, manipulating masses and markets. The poor, the underprivileged, and the weak in our society have been silenced.

Instead of serving as the voice of the people, these news channels have become platforms that serve the interests of corporations rather than the public. They spread misinformation and propaganda in an unhealthy pursuit of TRPs (Television Rating Point) and revenue. This has far-reaching implications for our nation's harmony and social stability.

Reports of fake news and skewed narratives are becoming increasingly common, with essential information often cloaked if it doesn't boost TRPs. This is a colossal disservice to us, the citizens. The role of media is to act as the conscience keeper of our society, protecting and promoting our rights. We cannot stand by as these channels compromise the fundamental principles of journalism for profit.

The time has come for us to step forward and demand accountability from these channels. Let us ban all 24*7 news channels currently operating in India that peddle misinformation, and vilify those who dare to show the actual news without bias or propaganda.

It is time to reclaim the integrity of our media. Let's ensure our news channels provide accurate, balanced reporting that serves the interests of our society rather than damaging it. Act now and sign this petition! Let us stand up for truth, rights and national harmony.
