- The Hindu is being targeted for its courage, says Congress
- Govt. contention on OSA seen as gag on press
- Signals imminent collapse of democracy, tweets Naidu
Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said The Hindu was being targeted for having been “brave” enough to expose the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Rafale deal.
His comment came in the wake of the Centre’s contention that the Rafale files had been “stolen” from the Defence Ministry and that publication of news reports based on these files, including by The Hindu, was a violation of the Official Secrets Act(OSA)
Other Opposition leaders, including West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, also expressed disquiet over the government’s threat to invoke the OSA, condemning it as a move to muzzle the media.
Climate of fear: Naidu
