Cong defends decision to boycott some TV news anchors

The Uttarakhand Congress strongly objected to the BJP State unit’s allegation that the decision of the INDIA alliance to boycott the shows hosted by some news anchors is an attack on the freedom of the press. The chief spokesperson of Uttarakhand Congress, Garima Dasauni said that it is the democratic right of the opposition to decide which programme it will attend and which it will not. She said that there is nothing wrong in the boycott of some journalists who never ask questions from those who are in power. The opposition has not stopped these anchors from speaking, conducting programmes and not imposed any restrictions on them.
