IJU concern over internet shutdown in Assam, Tripura

Guwahati, Dec 12 (UNI) The Indian Journalists Union (IJU) today expressed grave concern over the internet shutdown in the north eastern States of Assam and Tripura by the State governments in the name of controlling law and order situation arising out of the passage of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in both Houses of Parliament.
The governments shut down the internet services since Monday in Tripura and since Wednesday, in many districts of Assam.
In a statement, IJU President Geetartha Pathak and Secretary General Sabina Inderjit said blocking internet services is an attack on freedom of speech and expression, the right of citizens to get information and curtailing media’s freedom.
