New Delhi: Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni Saturday
condemned the killing of Jyotindra Dey, senior crime journalist of
Mumbai-based eveninger Mid Day, and said the attack challenged the
freedom of press.
"This act has challenged the freedom of press and perusal of
objective reporting. This incident is a sign of insanity
perpetuated by mindless individuals in which innocent citizens are
killed. No civilised society can tolerate this kind of attack on
the freedom of press," Soni said in her condolence message.
The minister said she was confident Maharashtra Home Minister R.R.
Patil will live up to his assurance of tracking down the
assailants in the shortest possible time.
Dey was shot dead by unidentified assailants near Powai in
northwest Mumbai Saturday afternoon, police said.
