The Politics of Subsidy

 
NEWS AND VIEWS : SAINIK SAMAJ PARTY (NWCR)
 
1. Media is agog with the news of subsidy in Parliament Canteen. I first had my lunch in either Dec1977 or Jan 78. We were told that it is very cheap. Indeed it was cheap. Subsidy in this canteen probably existed even prior to independence. Someone needs to dig out the history.
 
2. Should there be subsidy in parliament Canteen? The party don't think so. It must go. But more important than parliamentary Canteen is the subsidy given to Media Houses for running their print media or electronic TV channels. This subsidy is given is given to these Media eateries /companies an individuals in terms of News Print paper rolls, and all equipment required for running the channels including cameras broadcasting equipment and every bit of it.
 
3. Sainik Samaj Party demands that this subsidy to all media enterprises should be stopped forthwith since it is erroneously called fourth pillar and given huge subsidy.
4. Please share the post if you agree with the idea of withdrawing the subsidy to Media Houses since they have lost their trustworthiness and Social Media in any case has taken the role of public informer and educating agent.
