Slamming media's obsession with coverage of gangsters during Yakub Memon's hanging, Shiv Sena today said it should be once and for all decided as to how much focus given to terrorist excesses and whether it is tenable to do so for increased TRPs.

"A newspaper printed the whole conversation between Tiger Memon and his mother (before Yakub was to be hanged). If the conversation is indeed true, evidence should be taken from the newspaper as this issue relates to national security and lives of common people. If police do not find any proofs from the newspaper (on the reported conversation), strong steps should be taken against it," Sena said in an edit in its mouthpiece 'Saamana'.
