RSF calls on government to restore Kashmir Press Club

Srinagar: Reporters Without Borders (RSF) on Wednesday demanded immediate reopening of the Kashmir Press Club.
In a statement, it called on Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to immediately restore the KPC’s licence and order its reopening.
“This society’s closure is clearly the outcome of a coup hatched at great length by the local government, which follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s orders. This undeclared coup is an Indian government insult to all the journalists trying to do their job in the Kashmir Valley, which is steadily being transformed into a black hole for news and information,” said Daniel Bastard, the head of RSF’s Asia-Pacific Desk.
