PCI Condemns Passport Denials for Senior Editors
The Press Club of India (PCI) is strongly criticizing authorities for denying or impounding passports of veteran journalists, including R. Rajagopal, former editor of The Telegraph, and author Samrat Choudhury. Authorities attribute the denials to "adverse police reports" linked to the sudden, unexplained deletion of the journalists' names from local electoral rolls.
The PCI views these actions as targeted harassment aimed at intimidating critical voices in the media. Bharataawaz reporting confirms concerns over arbitrary bureaucratic hurdles being used against senior members of the press.
