NEW DELHI: Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday took to Twitter and slammed the media for spreading false information about the new Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019.

In his tweet, Gadkari shared the post of a news channel and wrote in the caption: “I am sorry, today again some friends of our media have made fun of a serious subject like road safety law.” “I request you to not create confusion among people by spreading false information on such a serious issue related to people’s lives,” he tweeted.
