Two months after the Kashmir Press Club’s “takeover” and subsequent closure in Srinagar, some journalists in Kashmir say a report by the Press Council of India has corroborated what they have alleged for a long time now – that they’re being targeted by fellow journalists for being “critical” of the government.
The Press Council has been praised for spotlighting the plight of the media in Kashmir. But journalists told Newslaundry the report also quoted those who usually target them for not toeing the administration’s line, and who label them as “anti-national”.
