Srinagar: Former chief ministers on Saturday slammed the administration for backing the journalists to forcefully take over Kashmir Press Club.
National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah condemned the forcible takeover of the KPC saying, “There is no government this “journalist” hasn’t sucked up to & no government he hasn’t lied on behalf of. I should know, I’ve seen both sides very closely. Now he’s benefited from a state sponsored coup,” Omar tweeted.
Similarly, PDP President and former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti tweeted, “GOI doesn’t want a debate on the oppression unleashed in J&K. Deliberately delaying KPCs registration is an attempt to throttle real issues flagged by local journalists here. Free press is the fourth pillar of democracy but BJPs policies seek to undermine & demolish it completely.”
