Widespread Protest Arises Over Case Against Asianet News Reporter

Kochi: SFI State Secretary P.M. There is widespread protest over the inclusion of Asianet News senior reporter Akhila Nandakumar as an accused in Arshaw’s complaint.

Media activist Sreejith Divakaran said that the case against the reporter who came to report the incident was violence and if a case is filed for reporting, journalism will not move forward.

‘The journalist who came to report repeated the complaint made live by a KSU worker/leader, they say that KSU has made a political allegation. If a case has been registered against them on charges of conspiracy, it is violence. Big mistake. “Journalism will not move forward if we start suing for reporting,” he wrote on Facebook.

Journalist K.J. said that it is absurd if the reporter was arrested only because of a visual. Jacob said. He added that the government should take necessary steps to correct this action of the police.

‘A visual is circulating as if it is the reason for the involvement of the journalist. I find it hard to believe that this rejoinder is because of that report, and that alone. Now if that is the case, if that visual is the only reason, it is pure nonsense, unfair, unjust, unnecessarily harassing and unacceptable. The government should take necessary steps to correct this action of the police,’ he wrote on Facebook.

Media worker Dhanya Rajendran also demanded that the case filed against Akhila was intended to intimidate and the case should be withdrawn. Many media reported the news. She asks why Arsho filed a complaint against Akhila only and will he file a complaint against all those who gave the news.

Journalists’ organization KUWJ said that the action filed against Akhila was anti-democratic and an encroachment on the freedom of the press. KUWJ said that the action should be corrected immediately, otherwise media workers in Kerala will go on a big protest. Informed.

Arshaw had earlier complained that there was a conspiracy in the mark list controversy. An FIR was registered yesterday. According to it, the first defendant is the department coordinator Vinod Kumar and the second defendant is the principal. In this, Akhila has been added as the fifth accused.
