Threatening calls in the case of Bengaluru riots case if the names of SDPI and PFI are mentioned. Gauri Lankesh’s, example has been cited who has been murdered !
- Why are the pseudo-secular journalists such as Rajdeep Sardesai, Ravish Kumar, Barkha Dutt, etc. maintaining silence in spite of threatening calls received by co-journalist from religious fanatics !
- In the wake of threats by SDPI and PFI citing the example of Gauri Lankesh, the fact of involvement of the above two organisations cannot be overlooked in the murder ! The harassment of some Hindu organisations in the Gauri Lankesh case by the Police administration should now focus on this angle !
- The fact that News Channel’s journalist has received threats because they mentioned the names of the two organizations, should be criticised strongly ! The responsibility lies on the Karnataka’s BJP Government to provide security to patriotic journalists !
