Women journalists held for protest

 

The agitators deman-ded Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao not to kill the media in Telangana. The journalists appr-oached State Human Rights Commission, alleging that the police  had manhandled them for partaking in a peaceful protest. 

 

While a few TRS sources alleged that media houses are using their women employees to sensationalise the issue, the scribes denied the allegations saying that they are following up the ‘silent protest’ initiated by a woman TV anchor in Delhi on the same issue. 

 

“The male journalists had protested last month and got arrested. They had conducted the rally from Basheerbagh to Secretariat on this issue. So, we decided to do it with women journos this time," said an agitator. 

 

The agitators covered their face with black cloths and held placards saying “Don’t kill media in Telangana.” They were later released after their arrest.
