New Delhi: The Indian
Newspaper Society (INS) Thursday condemned the CITU for
obstructing the distribution of Malayala Manorama and Mathurubhumi
newspapers in Calicut and Kannur in Kerala.
INS said the Centre of Indian Trade Unions, which is allied to the
Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), was "physically
obstructing the distribution of Malayala Manorama and its other
publications in Calicut city and neighbouring areas for the last
13 days.
"Now they have started blocking the bundles of Mathrubhumi Daily
also," it said. "The disruption of supply of these two newspapers
has spread to neighbouring Kannur district as well."
Calling it an attack on the freedom of the press, INS president
Ashish Bagga urged the CPI-M to "desist from denying the right to
the people to get newspaper of their choice".
