"Vibrant and fiercely independent media in our country is an asset for all of us. It has served us well in disseminating information, educating the public and keeping a critical eye on the work of the government," Singh said at the concluding function to mark 125 years of Malayala Manorama group.
As it grew in size and evolved, "some aberrations have also crept in", the PM said. However, it was for the media to deal with them, Singh added.
"The good thing is that these aberrations are also being discussed and debated. It is for media itself to find ways and means to remove the deficiencies which it suffers from," he said.
Speaking on the occasion, defence minister A K Antony said the country was witnessing a transparency revolution. "There is need and urgency that this revolution percolates all institutions in the country," he said.
