BISWANATH CHARIALI: The journalists under Biswanath Chariali Press Club staged a sit-in demonstration in front of the District Commissioner’s office wearing black badges in protest against Minister Jayanta Mallabaruah’s alleged derogatory remarks against journalists. Expressing anguish over the minister, the scribes shouted slogans.
Later, they commented that they would refrain from covering any news of the minister until the minister publicly apologised. On the other hand, demanding special measures to protect the journalists, the scribe body submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister through the District Commissioner. They also condemned the attack on journalist Bimaljyoti Nath and other journalists by the stone-sand mafia at Hugrajuli near Dhekiajuli and called for special steps in this regard.
