The Press Club of India on Tuesday condemned the recent assault on journalists at the ‘Hindu Mahapanchayat’ in Burari and demanded that “Delhi Police immediately arrests the hooligans” behind the attack. The club also condemned the arrest of three journalists in UP’s Ballia who had reported the class 12 Engish paper leak case.
In a statement released on Twitter, the club said that the assault on journalists in Delhi was “highly deplorable” and “seemingly smacks of preconceived nefarious designs of communal hooligans to force mediapersons to follow their hidden agendas”.
