Condemning the recent raids conducted by Delhi Police at the houses of various journalists and filing of FIRs against them under various sections of UAPA, CPI-M Manipur State Secretariat urged all to come out and protect the media.
In a statement, CPI-M Manipur said that such raids by Delhi Police under Union government violate the fundamental rights of freedom of expression of media.
In the last nine years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has been using government investigation agencies to suppress various media houses and silence them, it claimed.
CPI-M Manipur further stressed that it will never accept gagging of the media houses and journalists for stating the truth, while adding that all who believe in democracy should protest against such draconian action of the Union government.
