Update: 2010-09-15 00:00 GMT

GUWAHATI, July 16 � Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today said the role of the local news channel journalist, who has also been accused by RTI activist Akhil Gogoi of instigating the assault on a girl outside a city pub, was �unethical�, reports PTI.

�This was a case of unethical journalism. It is all right to film the incident as a part of his professional duty, but as a part of his social responsibility the journalist should have informed the police�, Gogoi told reporters outside the Assembly on the first day of the five-day monsoon session.

�The media blames the Government and particularly the police on all accounts, but journalists too have a responsible role to play in society and in this particular case they have failed miserably�, the Chief Minister added.
