The Press Club in Hyderabad will hold a protest meet on November 7 at 10:30 am at its premises in Somajiguda to express solidarity with the TV Channel NDTV, and condemn the "draconian" action of shutting down a national channel as a penalty for covering the terror attack on Pathankot Air Force base.
Club General Secretary S Vijay Kumar Reddy told the media that the action was nothing short of gagging freedom of press and expression. The punitive measure, as the Centre put it, reminds us of the dark days of Emergency, he said, and exhorted journalists to attend the meeting and join them in the protest.
