PRESS FREEDOM IN THE TELUGU STATES!!!
Video1:
A female journalist being asked for proof of pregnancy when she went to cover the festivities at Balkampet Yellamma temple in #Hyderabad #Telangana. Apparently, when the cops shoved her away while she was on duty, she told them that she is pregnant and then the cops on duty asked her to “prove her pregnancy”!
Video2:
A journalist being manhandled by the cops while he was covering the DSC aspirants agitation at Osmania University #Hyderabad
Video3:
TDP cadre protest at Deccan Chronicle office in #Visakhapatnam #AndhraPradesh. The protesters apparently ransacked the furniture, burnt the name board terrorizing the employees - all because of an article about Vizag Steel Plant privatization.
The #Telangana government did file an FIR on me for my tweet “about a woman’s tweet on power cuts”!
The INTOLERANCE levels of the newly formed governments is astounding.
DEAR POLITICAL PARTIES- you don’t like a news article or a tweet send a rejoinder. Don’t resort to measures like filing FIRs, manhandling journalists or ransacking media offices. I know it is tough, but try to act civilized & not like goons 😊😊!
DEAR MEDIA- try to stick together. An attack on one is an attack on the entire fraternity. Trying to side with the government and putting down fellow journalists doesn’t help. Your silence only empowers these people to come for everyone of us. Governments come and go, journalists will be here! And we have to keep questioning the governments come what may!
