Reacting to Delhi Police conducting raids on houses of journalists associated with the news portal NewsClick on October 3, Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur said investigating agencies are independent and they act according to law.
“I don’t have to justify the raids. If someone has committed any wrong, investigating agencies do act on them. Nowhere it is written that if you have wrongfully acquired wealth and committed offence, the investigating agencies would not take action,” said Mr. Thakur when asked if he justified the government action with regards to raids on journalists.
“Investigating agencies are independent. They act according to law,” he said. Mr. Thakur along Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan was addressing a press conference here.
