Jhansi: As many as fifty journalists from different media sectors took out a bicycle bike rally in Chitrakoot on Wednesday in protest against the raids carried out on a number of media houses recently. Later, they submitted a memorandum addressed to the President of India to district magistrate Chitrakoot, Shubrant Shukla.
Ziaul Haq, public relations officer (PRO) Chitrakoot Media Club said the journalists through the memorandum have requested the President of India to intervene and ensure that the autonomy and freedom of the media is maintained so that it can discharge its duty freely and without any fear.

The rally was led by president of Chitrakoot Media Club club president, Satya Prakash Dwivedi who raised the voice of the club members against various government agencies who often harass media for criticizing the government and its policies, Haq said.
“Such atrocious acts on the part of the government is nothing but an attempt to l gag the media which shows the truth”, Dwivedi said.
