Self-control must in social media: Kodela
Deliberations during the first two days of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) conference on the Parliament and the media law were good and fruitful, Speaker of AP Legislative Assembly Kodela Siva Prasada Rao said on Thursday.
He said delegates felt that the self-control was needed as far as social media were concerned and this would benefit society, he said.
Feedback forms received from the delegates would be sent to the CPA and the comments and suggestions would help in improving the associations activities, Dr. Siva Prasada Rao said. The main object of CPA was to promote parliamentary democracy and the role of media was important in it, Assistant Director (programmes) Arlene Bussettee said. The workshop outcome document would be circulated among the 170 branches of the CPA, she said. There are 17,000 MPs and members of legislatures in these countries.
The third and final day of the conference would be held at tourist centre Araku, situated on the Eastern Ghats, on Friday. Answering a question on how self discipline could be entertained when all types of people are entering the media, Dr. Siva Prasada Rao and Mr. Roy said that said there were good and bad elements every where. If the limits were crossed the judiciary and legislatures were certainly stepping inOn the delay in the process of law making, Mr. Roy said some bills were passed quickly but some were delayed. Some like the GST bill pending for many years were big in size and they needed thorough scrutiny with an effort to get consensus of all States.
