"We believe that citizens should be made aware rather than controlled. Today's program has inspired all of us towards that end," he said, while adding that as long as citizens cannot distinguish who gave them what information and why, problems will continue to arise.
Constituent Assembly member and department member Deepak Prasad Kuinkel emphasized that digital media is connected to people's lifestyles and stressed the need to become vigilant in its use.
