Siddaramaiah challenges BJP chief Nadda on attacks on media


Bengaluru, Sept 15 (IANS): Amid the spat between the BJP and INDIA bloc over the latter deciding to boycott some media anchors, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday challenged BJP President J.P. Nadda with earlier instances of attacks on media.

Taking to the social media, he said: "Mr J.P. Nadda, we will give you the data on the actual attack on the media. You may have forgotten this, but INDIA still remembers it."

"Journalists who were arrested for reporting the truth: Siddique Kappan; Mohammed Zubair; Ajit Ojha; Jaspal Singh; Sajad Gul; Kishorechandra Wangkhen and Prashant Kanojia".

Siddaramaiah further stated that the journalists who were killed for speaking the truth include Rakesh Singh, Shubham Mani Tripathi, G. Moses, Parag Bhuyan, and Gauri Lankesh.

He mentioned the Press Freedom Index and India's falling rank. "2015: 136th position, 2019: 140th position, 2022: 150th position and 2023: 161st position. What does BJP have to say about this?" he challenged.

    South India has competent and qualified leaders who can block the entry of the BJP into Government through their good governance. Telangana results will seal their fate forever in the south. Mr Siddaramaiah has given a fitting reply. Records cannot be fudged. This is a fact which the NO DATA AVAILABLE (NDA) GOVERNMENT should note.

    Looks like a World War is due shortly. The end of the beginning or the beginning of the end. Anyone's guess.
