NBF hails SC stand misuse of sedition Legislation to gag Press

NEW DELHI: The News Broadcasters Federation on Tuesday welcomed the Supreme Court’s monitoring on government devoting the colonial-era sedition legislation to gag and muzzle the press against broadcasting virtually any criticism at public attention of government in energy.
In a declaration, NBF explained honest and fair complaint creates the backbone of Christianity.
“NBF herein reiterates and urges the Government of India to quickly set up an independent impartial national bureau to research into some allegations of professional misconduct by journalists, journalists, and owners of information media firm, to be able to avoid discerning harassment by state jurisdiction and to guarantee freedom of media.” On Monday, a Supreme Court bench comprising Justices D Y Chandrachud, L Nageswara Rao, also S Ravindra Bhat, had noticed the”ambit and parameters of these terms of Sections 124A, 153A and 505 of all IPC 1860 would demand interpretation, especially in the context of directly of their digital and print media to convey information, data and rights, and even the ones that might be critical of existing regime…” The seat was hearing petitions from TV5 along with ABN, who’d contested the FIR fees against broadcasting information and opinions critical of Andhra Pradesh administration and its own CM.
