Two days after an oped in Rising Kashmir called 11 independent journalists terror sympathisers and sought action against them for their work, the Digipub News India Foundation on Friday said the “defamatory accusations” have put the journalists in “greater danger than ever”.
The article – titled ‘Vultures of Single Narrative Feasting on Misery’ – was written by one Majeed Ahmad, who the paper doesn’t identify. Its primary target, according to the Digipub statement, was Pulitzer awardee Sanna Irshad Mattoo who was recently prevented from flying abroad by the Union government “without reason or law being cited”.
