The National Union of Journalists India i.e. NUJ (India) and Delhi Journalists Association (DJA) have demanded strict action against the culprits behind the misbehavior and beating of Times Now video journalist Akanksha Khajuria by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers.

On camera: TIMES NOW’s Akanksha Khajuria and team heckled, video journalist pushed and slapped. This is the second time that AAP has misbehaved with TIMES NOW.

“Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, control your media coordinator and your goons,” Group Editor-in-Chief,

Times Now Navbharat and Times Now NavikaKumar’s message to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.

NUJI National President Ras Bihari said that the video journalists of Times Now had gone to ask questions about the corruption and scams of the AAP party. It is possible that due to the displeasure of the Aam Aadmi Party, his anger was vented on the journalist.

The NUJI President said that in democracy there is freedom to show the corruption of political parties and their leaders and ask questions against it. The media has got the right to ask questions. He said that it seems that AAP leaders are repeatedly insulting the media due to their declining support base. He said that cases of attacks on media persons would also be taken up in the Press Council of India.
