Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 29 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar "strongly" condemned the alleged attack on the office of a television news channel in Telangana and accused the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) of being behind the incident.
In a post on X, Bandi Sanjay, who is the Union Minister of State (MoS) for Home Affairs, stated that the incident was more than just an attack on a building -- it was an assault on the Freedom of the Press.
"Strongly condemn the attack on Mahaa News by BRS goons, led by KCR's son #TappingTillu. This is not just an attack on a building--it is an attack on Freedom of the Press," the BJP MP said.
"BRS always preaches about journalism. Is this how you show it? By sending people to damage a Media office? When you were in power, your supporters spread lies and abused many of us. Did we ever send mobs to your doors? And what happened to the days when Mahaa News supported you? Is this how you treat those who once stood with you?" he questioned.
He said that this attack is a clear attempt to distract from the TV anchor's suicide and further claimed that persons associated with BRS are being accused of abetment.
"You can break cameras, not truth. You can silence voices, not questions. You can attack a channel, but not journalism. This is not just wrong - it's a crime. And the people are watching. We demand Congress govt to immediately take action against those involved in attack," the BJP leader added.
