Priyank Kharge criticizes government circular to advertise only in Brahmin-owned journals
Bengaluru: Senior Congress leader Priyank Kharge has accused the BJP government of checking the religion of the owners of a newspaper before giving its advertisement.
Posting a picture of the circular issued by the Information and Broadcasting Department in his Twitter handle, Kharge has said, “The Department has issued a circular about advertising in journals owned by people of Brahman communities. Two-page advertisements will be given every month to only Brahmin-owned media houses, says the circular.”
Kharge has questioned the government about its questionable attitude towards newspapers owned by other community people, asking Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai if such journals were not to be considered while advertising.
“There are many workers who have been duly and diligently following the Nagpur Order,” the Congress leader has said.
The circular issued by the Department on January 13 on the instruction of the government has ordered the publication of a two-page advertisement in the newspapers owned by Brahmin media houses and listed out in the circular.
The document has been signed by the deputy director of the Department K P Puttaswamayya for the Department Commissioner.
