“From Burari to Ballia, they are two different incidents but their nature is the same because they are both unprecedented. Journalists who are messengers, providing news, are targeted,” said Press Club of India president Umakant Lakhera, in his opening remarks at a gathering of journalists at the club on Wednesday evening.
The event, organised by Digipub News India Foundation and Press Club, was organised to express concerns about the increasing attacks on the media in the country, especially in light of the assault on journalists in Delhi and the arrest of reporters in Ballia.
