Srinagar
In occupied Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that the new Media Policy-2020 is an atrocious assault on the press freedom in the territory.
A DFP spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar termed the new policy as yet another attack on journalists and the freedom of press in the territory.
He said that the media policy was a crafty move on the part of the occupation authorities and a malicious attempt to bring down the free-media and journalists, who played a crucial role in exposing Indian brutalities and bringing Kashmir into international limelight despite suffocating military siege and communication blockade imposed by the Indian government on 5th August 2019.
He urged the international community to take cognizance of the Indian atrocities. He said that after wreaking havoc on the lives of people, the government of India was hell bent on silencing the media to ensure a graveyard silence in the territory.
He urged the world community to impress upon India to revoke the new policy to allow the media in Kashmir work freely.
Meanwhile, the DFP Acting Chairman, Mehmood Ahmed Saghar, in a statement in Islamabad urged the world human rights organizations to take notice of India’s naked aggression against unarmed civilians in occupied Kashmir.—KMS
