No Political Party Is Serious About The Welfare Of Journalists, We Will Have To Fight: Dr. Anurag Saxena
Delhi Desk : Journalist Council of India has made a big attack on all the Political Parties of the Country. The organisation has alleged that the interests of journalists are not included in the agenda of any political party. Due to this, the trend of unnecessarily harassing journalists has started today.
The above things came to light during a marathon virtual meeting organised under the presidency of Dr. Anurag Saxena, National President of Journalist Council of India (JCI). There was anger among journalists that no political party is serious about their interests. During this, a demand was raised to implement the Journalist Protection Act across the country as soon as possible.
Journalist Council of India Virtual Meeting
Either Ruling Party Or Opposition, No One Is Concerned For Journalists
JCI National President Dr. Anurag Saxena questioned the intentions of all the political parties of the country towards journalists. He said that journalists play an important role in taking political parties from the ground to the heights. But neither the Ruling Party nor the Opposition is concerned about the weffare and interests of journalists.
He also expressed concern that our Prime Minister, who is taking effective steps on every front, is also not talking about the welfare and interests of journalists. Today all the political parties talk about every class in their agenda, but the issue of journalists is not in anyone’s agenda.
Journalist Council of India Questioned Political Parties
Journalists Are Being Attacked And Harassed Unnecessarily
Dr. Anurag Saxena said that today journalists are being attacked unnecessarily. They are being tortured without any reason. Journalists are being implicated in false cases. Because of this, they are not able to do their work openly and fearlessly.
He raised the question that today when everything is going digital, to what extent is it justified not to recognize E-Paper. Journalists across the country are fighting for their survival, but the Government is not passing Journalist Protection Act in the interest of journalists. This reveals the intentions of the Government towards journalists.
