Press Council to decide if media can use the word 'Dalit'
The Information and Broadcasting Ministry officials on Tuesday said the Press Council of India will decide whether media can use the term 'Dalit' or not. This comes after the Bombay High Court had asked the ministry to consider the same. Earlier, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment had advised ministries and states to use 'Scheduled Caste' instead of 'Dalit'.
