Mumbai scribes protest against attack on journalists in Delhi

Condemning the attack on mediapersons at a court complex in Delhi, hundreds of journalists on Wednesday took out a protest march in the city, demanding that the culprits be brought to book.

The protest march was organised by the Mumbai Press Club, TV Journalists’ Association (TVJA), Bombay News Photographers Association, among others.

Holding placards with messages such as ‘Stop Attack on Journalists’, ‘Stop Shooting the Messenger’, ‘Arrest OP Sharma’, ‘Sack Delhi Police Commissioner’, journalists walked from Press Club to the Azad Maidan gate in South Mumbai, where they raised slogans against the “lackadaisical” approach of Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi and sought his removal from the post. Following the march, the journalists held a meeting at the Press Club to discuss the issue.
