Hyderabad, Mar 12 (Maxim News): The arrest of female journalists in the wee hours triggered outrage, with BRS leaders condemning the Revanth Reddy government for its authoritarian tactics. BRS working president K.Tarak Rama Rao slammed the early morning raid and arrest, stating that it reminded him of the Emergency-era actions of the Congress.
“The arrest of journalists for merely posting a video of a farmer speaking about his hardships is the peak of dictatorial governance. Where is press freedom in this so-called ‘constitutional rule’ that Rahul Gandhi talks about?” he asked.
It may be recalled that Senior Journalist Revathi and her colleague Tanvi Yadav were reportedly arrested by the police from their residences in Hyderabad on Wednesday. The duo were picked up around 5 am for posting a video of a farmer speaking about his hardships under the Congress regime on their YouTube channel and social media platforms.
Senior BRS leader T. Harish Rao questioned whether Telangana was under a democracy or a dictatorship. “This government responds to uncomfortable questions with arrests. Reathi’s 5 AM arrest exposes the deep insecurity and cowardice of Congress. I strongly condemn this shameful attempt to silence voices and suppress press freedom,” he said.
BRS MLC K. Kavitha also condemned the incident, stating that under Revanth Reddy’s rule, anyone who dares to question faces taunts, threats, or arrests. (Maxim News)
