Journalist organisations condemn BJP MLA's open threat to scribes

New Delhi, June 24 (UNI) The Indian Women's Press Corps, Press Club of India, Press Association and Federation of Press Clubs of India on Sunday condemned the threatening and intimidating remarks made by BJP MLA and former Jammu and Kashmir Minister Chaudhary Lal Singh, directed at journalists in the valley.
In a statement, the media organisations demanded that strict action be taken against the lawmaker for making threatening remarks hinting possible violence at journalists in the valley.
''such statements are nothing short of criminal intimidation and a direct attack on the freedom of the press. They also serve to vitiate the atmosphere and endanger the lives of journalists who work and live precariously in areas under conflict,'' the statement said.
