Condemning the Heinous Murder of a Journalist in UP's Sitapur
We strongly condemn the brutal and senseless murder of a journalist in Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh. The victim was reportedly hit by a bike and then shot three times on the highway.
This horrific incident is a stark reminder of the growing threats and violence faced by journalists and media professionals in our country. It is unacceptable that those who bring truth to power and hold the powerful accountable are being silenced in such a brutal manner.
We demand:
1. Immediate investigation: A thorough and impartial investigation into the murder, and swift action against the perpetrators.
2. Justice for the victim: Ensuring that the victim's family receives justice and support.
3. Protection for journalists: Implementing effective measures to ensure the safety and security of journalists and media professionals.
We stand in solidarity with the journalist community and demand that the government takes concrete steps to safeguard the freedom of the press and protect those who risk their lives to bring us the truth.
