The IJU leaders said they are of the opinion that this Bill is more progressive than the one enacted by Maharashtra. The Bill not only provides protection to Journalists but ensures protection for the properties of media persons and media institutions.
At a time when the Journalist fraternity has become more vulnerable with increasing attacks and killings by anti-social elements this bill is a welcome move, they averred.
