Is it the accreditation Card that determines who is a journalist? The question has arisen among journalists. This accreditation card is owned only by corporate media and does not give it to other newspapers. The job of these newspapers is to beat the cymbals according to whichever regime comes.
So, they will get all the benefits from the accreditation Card. Get ads. But those who are not available cannot even take this route to enter the Secretariat. You go that way, go there and check your bags, what are you going for? Why are you going? After answering all these questions, it pains all of us to ask a silly question to all these newspapers and act with the intention of humiliating the journalism industry.
When we are social welfare magazines that illuminate the truth to the society, the wrong attitude of the police to even go inside a secretariat is painful. Not only that, but if one is a magazine, two comba? He even talks about that. All this has to be accepted as the respect that journalism gets under the DMK rule. Freedom of the press They can talk if they need to. If they don’t need to, they’ll trample on it. If all this work is journalism, you should be talking to someone you don’t know.
That’s what I asked the joint director inside a secretariat. He said he couldn’t talk to you, sir. There’s a lot to talk about. You can sit as many corporates as you want, I will speak. Because they said PRO to come in, tell me which PRO told us to come in, we didn’t. They said that.
So, if the police themselves had taken a decision to let them in only with this accreditation Card, it would be a wrong decision. Also, do all accreditation card holders qualify as journalists? Can the police decide? Also, there are so many problems in this field. The makkaladhikaram has gone to court.
So, the DGP has an identity card. It is enough to show that ID. Because we have been given an RNI certificate by the central government. On behalf of social welfare journalists, I request Inspector General of Police shanker G Val Sharma to take appropriate action in this regard.
