APUWJ urges Governor, CEO to defreeze Sakshi accounts
|
Hyderabad: Alleging that the GO issued by the government to stop government advertisements to Sakshi newspaper and Television channel as violation of the code of conduct, the APUWJ on Thursday submitted a memoranda to the Governor and the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), seeking their intervention in the matter.
The APUWJ members believe that stoppage of advertisements and freezing of bank accounts of a news agency, especially when the model code conduct is in force, is an attack on the freedom of the press and meant to muzzle criticism of the government, they said.
They requested the Election Commission to order the government to withdraw the GO No 2097. Among those who met CEO Bhanwar Lal were IJU secretary-general Devulapalli Amar, APUWJ general secretary Y Narender Reddy and others. Bhanwar Lal said that he would look into the complaint and see whether the said move of the government was a violation of the Election Code.
