National Federation Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad says the Media Industry Development Act is a draconian law.

While speaking in a talanoa session in Sigatoka, Prof Prasad said NFP and People’s Alliance Party will review the act if they form the next Government.

He said they will free the media in this country from the shackles of the draconian media laws that exist.

“We will review the Media Industry Development Act within six months of taking office. The Act is a draconian law,” he said.

"In a democracy, the media are called the fourth estate, they are the most important people,” he said.
