हमने मिडिया के आजदी व उसके नुकसान पर आपके सूचना प्रसारण मंत्रालय को पत्र लिखा कि आज दूरसंचार माध्यम का यदि सदुपयोग हो तो देश की आबादी सुशिझित व प्रगतिशील हो जाये। परन्तु मीडिया अपनी रोटी सेकते हुए देश संविधान का मजाक उडा रहा है जैसेकि मुम्बई आतंकी हमले की लाईव टेलीकास्ट दिखा कर आतंकी पाक स्थित आकाओं को सुपरवाइज कर रहे थे । देश हित व समाज हित की सुरक्षा के साथ खेलने का गुनाह ये कैसे कर सकते हैं अनावश्यक बहस बे सिर पैर की बहस कराकर ये अपना उल्लू सीधा करते हैं। निगेटिव व सनसनीखेज फैला कर जनता को गुमराह करते हैं। इनके उपयोगिता पर निर्देशांक तय होना जरूरी है।जय हिन्द

The agency can take action against companies who have broken the Advertising Code. The agency would be able to sort out any problems one has with goods or services which bought as a result of an advertisement, with the exception of some situations where one bought by distance sale. If there’s some wrong with goods or services, one should try and sort out with the trader one bought them from. However, if the content of advertising material coaxed one to buy something. Then this should be fixed.

आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री जी आज आतंकवाद पर आप चिंतित है पर आप जैसे सोचते हो की विदेशी राष्ट्र यदि कुछ मिल कर आतंकवाद खत्म करेंगे तो भूल जाइये सब उन्नत शील देशों का उत्पादन युद्ध उपकरणों का है तो यदि सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिना हो गया तो अपना माल कहा बेचेगें और उनकी अर्थ व्वस्था का क्या होगा? सभी चालाक हैं ।विकास शील देशों को लडाते हैं और अपना माल कर्ज के रूप में भी बेचकर अपना कारोबार जिन्दा रखते हैं। हमारी आप को राय है कि अपने देश के रिसोर्सेज पर व अपने देश की जनता से सीधे संपर्क व विश्वास कायम करें न कि विदेशियों के चक्कर में पडकर अपना समय बरबाद करें सभी समस्याओं का समाधान देश के अंदर है आपको बाहर भटकने की आवश्यकता नही है। जय हिन्द

Misleading advertisements are largely in the domain of unregulated products like AYURVEDA which can be manufactured and sold without any testing or QC or FDA regulations. The menace of unprofessional and non-scientific methods should be immediately regulated as per the constitutional mandate. Today any baba without the bare minimum brain of qualifying a matriculate examination is selling sugar & salt mixtures under claim of ayurvedic treatment. Majority ad in most newspapers sell ayurveda only

Advertisements of any product which requires a professional advice and or diagnosis of any nature should not be allowed to be published or marketed through audio-visual channels. Similarly advertisement of services by professionals like Doctors, lawyers, Architects or CA / CS should not be allowed to be published and strict punishment be meted out to those standing in violation. Citizens should be empowered under CrPC Sec 145 to self arrest errant misleading advertisers and lodge FIR

99 % भारतीय भ्रामक विज्ञापनों से तंग आ गए हैं लेकिन उचित मार्गदर्शन/ विकल्प के आभाव में वो बर्दास्त करने को मजबूर हैं.. सुझाव - हरेक Product के हर प्रकार के विज्ञापन पर उसके सम्बंधित निम्न पांच जानकारी भी सहज समझने योग्य भाषा में स्पष्ट रूप से साझा करनी चाहिए- 1. वास्तविक स्वास्थ्य लाभ 2. वास्तविक दुष्परिणाम 3.Their Ingredients. 4. उनसे सम्बंधित शिकायत दर्ज करने के लिए Govt.ToIl Free no. 5. एक वेबसाइट जहाँ पर उससे सम्बंधित सारी जानकारियां विस्तार पूर्वक उपलब्ध रहें।- जय हिन्द

govt. must put strict terms and conditions under which all the producing unit should work and there should be strict rules against the exaggeration made by seller.and the most important thing is that promote swadeshi goods and reduce the domination of foreign goods.if swadeshi goods will be produced it will automatically lead to the reduction in misleading advertisement because swadeshi will be produced under strict govt. censorship.

For each product "TERMS & Conditions" must be part of advertisements and it should be in normal form i.e. voice should not be hurried so that public can understand the product application and letter size (if displaying) must be in normal size so that people can able to read.
