Scribe bodies complain to Rajnath about trolling

New Delhi: A number of journalists' bodies on Tuesday wrote to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh complaining about trolling of some journalists on the social media in the wake of the Pulwama incident and sought action against the trolls.

“We would like to bring to your kind notice the vicious attacks on the social media directed against several mediapersons who have commented on the harassment faced by Kashmiri students and others following the dastardly killings of CRPF personnel in Pulwama,” read the letter written jointly by Indian Women's Press Corps (IWPC), Press Club of India (PCI) and Press Association.

It said that not only were the personal details of some of these mediapersons made public, several of them have been “bombarded by phone calls threatening violence, including sexual violence and other forms of repeated intimidation”. (IANS)
