Withdraw advisory on live reporting J&K encounters: Editors Guild
The Hindu
Security forces trying to escape scrutiny, it says
The Editors Guild of India on Saturday called for the Kashmir police to withdraw it’s advisory against live reporting of encounters. In a statement, the guild said the police had forbidden journalists from reporting live encounters with militants “on the specious plea that it is ‘likely to incite violence’ or that it can promote ‘anti-national sentiment’. Nothing can be further from the truth.” The EGI said the security forces were trying to escape scrutiny about the events behind instances of violence.More Related News
