Udupi, Mar 4: In the backdrop of hurling kerosene bomb and ransacking offices of Kannada dailies both in Bangalore, Mangalore and Udupi, recently, the District Working Journalists’ Association presented a memorandum to Ajay Kumar Singh, director – general and inspector – general of police on Thursday March 4. 

The journalists urged the police department to provide adequate security to media offices including TV channels besides to stop the practice of registering cases on media persons, insistence to present themselves in witness boxes in courts and during proceedings of certain cases. 

In the wake of attack on media offices, the incident has posed insecurity to media persons, in discharging their duties. The media persons will never hesitate to be present at the witness box when the internal security of our country is threatened.  However, the police are booking cases on media persons and dragging them to court as witnesses in few assault or attack cases, recently, they alleged.

    What is "Freedom of Press"? Many of the media people are not utilising the "Freedom of Press" properly. If these media people visit forien countries then they will realise the "Real Freedom of Pres". India is far better than foriegn countries. Its my personal experience. Simply some people are creating an issue. Instead of this, media people should know that they should maintain harmony in the society, thats far enough.
