Apart from the Freedom of Speech and Expression given by Indian Constitution’s Fundamental Rights, no reporter is entitled to forcibly enter the chamber of an officer and beat the table.
In a press statement released today, Th. Samo Singh, APO (Press) said that even reporters should respect the law of the county. The statement further said that he does not know who is Mobi and to which legitimate organization he belong.
It further said that the reason why he scolded Mobi is because of beating the table after entering the office. He did not bash him as a respect to the law of the country. To boycott the government and to demand the replacement of the officer who involved in the incident is violation of press ethics. Mobi should keep in mind that the government is not controlled by press.
