New Delhi: The Indian Newspaper Society (INS), the apex body of the Print Media Industry, has strongly condemned the Kerala Police’s action to register a FIR against a prominent news anchor of “Mathrubhumi News” by accusing him of creating communal hatred.

In a press release, Lav Saksena, Secretary General, said “INS is of the view that frequent attacks on the media through such naked abuse of power pose a grave threat to the freedom of the Press and assail the right to think, express and speak freely in our democratic country.”

He has urged the Government of Kerala to immediately drop these proceedings.
