Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) executive president KT Rama Rao attacked the Congress government for arrests. Rao said in a post on ‘X’, “Is this your ‘love shop’, Rahul Gandhi? Arrest two women journalists in the morning. What is their crime? To give voice to public opinion about the disabled and corrupt Congress government. The last time I saw, the Constitution of India, which you revolve with regularly, gives freedom of freedom of expression, Rahul Gandhi. “
According to a Hyderabad Police release, the complainant, working as the state secretary of the social media cell of the Congress in the city, received a ‘derogatory’ video on the Internet on March 10. In the video aired on social media, the representative of the online news channel was allegedly seen interviewing an unknown person in a ‘inflammatory’ manner. Police said that during the interview, an unknown person made a ‘abusive’ remarks against the Chief Minister of Telangana, which clearly reflects the intentional attempt by the channel to discredit Revanth Reddy and make false propaganda.
The complainant said that in addition, the video was actively broadcast on social media, causing it to go viral. According to the police, during the investigation, the police arrested Revathi, Managing Director of online news channel and news channel reporter Sandhya. Meanwhile, BJP spokesperson Shahzad Poonawala criticized the Congress for arresting journalists in the crime of showing frustration and plight of the farmers of Telangana.
