@bismil_prasad So then Suryakant must define who is “legally” considered a journalist. Last time i checked, there is no govt entity that issues journalism credentials.
@sardesairajdeep@ajitanjum Government does not and cannot issue press credentials and hence cannot decide who is a “professional” journalist. And yes, anyone with a phone can express freedom of press. That’s how it works in developed democracies. Just calling yiurself largest democracy is easy.
@ResearchMonk@sardesairajdeep Your argument has a huge hole. Police uniform is assigned and distributed by the government agency. Journalists/Press credentials are not issued by government. Are you suggesting that government should start issuing press cards and only the “chosen” journalists can report news?
