The Delhi Press Club has publicly criticised the police, demanding that journalists be allowed to work without restrictions.
The Delhi Press Club issued a statement on Monday condemning actions it says are limiting the ability of reporters to perform their duties. The club asserted that journalists must be permitted to work freely and without undue interference from law‑enforcement agencies. It called on the Delhi Police to respect constitutional guarantees of press freedom and to refrain from any measures that could impede news gathering. The statement did not cite specific incidents but emphasized the broader need for an environment where media can operate independently. The club urged authorities to engage constructively with the press to uphold democratic norms.
