KTR Reacts To The Assault
Responding to the incident, BRS working president K.Tarak Rama Rao also condemned the attack calling it the first such incident in Telangana’s 10-year history and the 60-year history of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. He expressed shock and anger over the ‘atrocious’ attack on journalists while they were performing their duty.
“How is it that women journalists have no safety in this Congress regime, which claims to be Indiramma’s regime?” he asked.
He felt that the attack raised serious questions about the government’s commitment to press freedom and transparency. He demanded that immediate action be taken against those involved in the assault, calling for the registration of cases and the arrest of the individuals responsible.
He also urged the Telangana State Women Commission to respond promptly and take appropriate action against the attackers. (Maxim News)
