Sir — This refers to the article, “Fake news: Clear and present danger” (December 14) by Ishan Joshi. India is a multi-lingual nation, therefore, more local media, in Print or Electronic, looking at both and/or all aspects of pan-national opinions, which are reasonable in language, is the key to fighting fake news.
Further, freedom of speech can only be controlled when political parties stop playing vote bank politics. Politicians themselves must not campaign in the accusative, rather they can remind the people of any success of their policies, past or present. Divide and rule is the source of untrustworthy promises.
