Srinagar Feb 23. The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee has condemned the Govt move to block the Advertisements to Greater Kashmir and Kashmir Reader, describing it as dictatorial measure to throttle the free press.
The Party also said that this move amounts to gauging the media, which is undemocratic, against the ethics of journalism.
Commenting on the blocking of Advertisements to Greater Kashmir and Kashmir Reader, the JKPCC President G.A. Mir has expressed surprise over this move terming it as an authoritarian measure and urged upon the Govt to revoke the orders so passed against the newspapers, forthwith.
He asked the Govt to stop strangulation of Greater Kashmir, Kashmir reader or any other newspaper, as that, nothing can be achieved out of such undemocratic measures.
Hundreds of the people are dependent on these Media Houses and blocking advertisements will have serious implications on their livelihood, G.A. Mir added and cautioned that such authoritarian measure on the part of Govt is going to have serious implications, ahead.
