Several journalists covering the Samajwadi Party’s protest on the Uttar Pradesh assembly premises were allegedly assaulted by marshals on Monday. In videos widely circulated on social media, journalists were heckled and stopped from covering the protest.
SP legislators were protesting over inflation, law and order problems, and an incident in Kanpur Dehat, where a 45-year-old woman and her daughter set themselves afire during an anti-encroachment drive.
