The Press Club of India alleged that mediapersons had been denied entry to the Press gallery for five sessions of the Parliament, including the present Winter Session.
The Press Club of India (PCI) has written to leaders of all political parties alleging that they have been prevented from entering the Press gallery for the last one-and-a-half year in a bid to “isolate Parliament and Parliamentarians from media gaze”. Today is the first day of the Winter Session of 2021. This is also the 5th session when reporters have been deliberately kept out of the Press GalleryAssurances given to us werenot complied with. Adding to that, is a new format of restrictions to thwart the entry of the media pic.twitter.com/51KediFTyb We are concerned that there is a depressing trend emerging to isolate parliament and parliamentarians from media gaze.The trend augurs ill of parliamentary democracy and much against the spirit of our parliamentary democracy.Once again we have written to @loksabhaspeaker pic.twitter.com/zxFsfCLXTH
