He was speaking on the occasion of National Press Day organised by the Kohima Press Club in Kohima on Wednesday. He also pointed out that investigative journalism is lacking in Nagaland media, which is important for every media in the state and country. He viewed fear of governance, peer pressure, inability to take the story out, and lack of confidence and conviction, as some reasons for the lack of investigative journalism in the state. Towards this, he challenged more investigative journalists who can collaborate with activists in the future. Sharma also said Nagaland media is the least corrupted and polluted, ‘except on tribal lines’. The DGP also emphasised on the importance of getting the “fact at the top”. “
