    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I think the Media Bill is a very important Bill. It is a very controversial Bill. Already the stakeholders are raising a number of fundamental issues. There is an issue that there is an attempt to regulate the media and it is a very fundamental thing. It is an issue and we need to find out who wants to regulate the media and why they want to regulate it. For what purpose and for what reason? Secondly, I think the media is an important sector in any socio-economic growth of any country and I am sure if we give the months of September and October to the stakeholders so that the committee that is seized of this Bill will go and do public participation and talk to the stakeholders, then I am sure that at the end of the day we will have a win-win situation. Every Bill that comes to this House has a stakeholder preference. It has a group that it affects in its regulation. So, I think the Freedom of Media Bill and the Information and Communication Bill affect these two sectors very fundamentally."
