The Press Club of India (PCI) has condemned the way five journalists were attacked during a Hindu Mahapanchayat meeting held on April 3 at Delhi’s Burari Grounds.
“It seemingly smacks of pre-conceived nefarious designs of communal hooligans to force media persons to follow their hidden agenda. Going by the series of attacks on media persons in the recent past, it could be inferred that these people are hellbent on gagging the press in its entirety,” said a PCI statement.
It said it was sad that the Delhi Police remained a mute spectator and did not arrest the culprits involved in the Burari attack... “Press Club of India demands immediate arrest of these hooligans with communal overtones and judicial enquiry to unearth sequence of events leading to barbaric assault on media persons.”
