 “Violations of Press Freedom”

 Many press organizations, such as the Editors Guild of India and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) have protested against the police’s actions against journalists and demanded the immediate release of journalists.

 CPJ made an announcement in a statement that “Detention of Samriddhi and Swarnaa is an infringement of Press Freedom.”

 “Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has to instruct Assam Police to immediately release Sakunia and Jha and to ask Tripura Police to stop the harassment of journalists who are doing their work.”

 EGI condemns the actions of the police and stated that they demand their immediate release as well as restoration of freedom to travel.

 Rahul Gandhi, leader of the main opposition  gucci bucket hat jadah marie denver pop culture con u wedding pie strain gwen stefani wedding dress red wedding dresses party Congress, on Sunday claimed that the BJP of “killing journalism”.

 “The BJP system has been active in destroying journalism. When has truth stopped in the face of falsehoods?” Gandhi said in an online tweet in Hindi.

 “Do not be too frank with your questions”

 India’s Supreme Court has agreed to set a date for hearing a petition challenging the Tripura police’s decision to invoke anti-terror laws against two Tripura lawyers who were visiting India as part of of a fact-finding team.

 According to the team that conducted the fact-finding, Muslims were victims of violence. They also noted that Hindu outfits such as VHP, Hindu Jagran Manch, (HJM) and Bajrang Dal were involved.

 Laxmi Murthy, a member of the Network of Women in Media India (NWMI), told Al Jazeera such arrests are meant to send out an alert to other journalists to stay clear of crossing the line.

 Murthy stated that the message was intended  melania trump wedding dress champagne wedding dress maid outfit yellow rain boots uw health union corners lone star family health to inform journalists and general media that asking too many questions can be an indication of insecurity.

 “It is extremely ironic that journalists seeking to determine the root source of the communal conflict are themselves being held under provisions to create tensions among the communities. This is extremely ironic and troubling.

 “Just accept that official version, or the police version, and then go away which is exactly what is being promoted as news these days.”

 India was ranked 122nd in the World Press Freedom Index (RSF), a French NGO. But its ranking has steadily declined over time. India was ranked as 142nd out of 180 countries in 2021.

 Who was behind the violence?

 After the violence against Hindus in Bangladesh in the past, extreme-right Hindu groups staged protest rallies in Tripura. They were accused of attacking Muslims in their mosques, their sacred places as well as mosques.
