It was a message to powers-that-be that we may have been left battered, but we are still here to see, to feel and to write about things the way they are.
UP is notorious for violence against journalists, topping NCRB list. Between 2011 and 2016, 70 cases of violence against journalists were recorded in the state.
The finance ministry under the Modi government has barred entry of all journalists, including PIB accredited, in the North Block without prior appointment.
Latest incident came Sunday when 30-40 journalists were ‘locked up’ in a room in a Moradabad hospital where CM Yogi Adityanath was on an inspection visit.
Sharing the video of a woman proposing marriage to Yogi Adityanath had led to the arrest of journalists Prashant Kanojia, Anuj Shukla and Ishika Singh.
Many journalists have been booked for extortion, blackmail & false propaganda, and there’s a growing sense that the rot starts at the top of the Kannada media.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
PTC Industries is investing Rs 1,000 cr in 4 manufacturing plants in UP, has already started supplying titanium parts to BAE Systems for its M-777 howitzers that India also uses.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
Don’t you think life is more important than communications. Halting of communication systems are required to ensure no terrorist activites are done and lives are saved
It is a sad fact that JP movement even though had its merits legitimised RSS in its sheer blind anti congressim.We do not have to go back that far into history as even the anti corruption movement intially was filled with RSS cadres
But once it gained traction RSS cadres left the platform.But one of the dangerous side effects of JP movement was it produced eminent leaders for voluntary sector.These leaders because of their clout visibility eliminated alll voluntary sector who belonged the minority community.They sat in dharna against Kurien of Amul,whey they knew that they have structured their organisation that they will be president even after their death
Regarding demand of press reporters for internet and phone, Kavi Kumar Biswas already gave answer long before standing on British land that a brain tumar has been operated recently, it will take time be normal. First, patient will remain at ICU, then he will be shifted at general bed , after that he will checked up by the doctors thoroughly and if doctors found them satisfactory, then only patient will be released from the hospital. Unless otherwise, the patient may be prescribed for another surgery. So please wait for some time and have a Patience, Kasmir will be normal very soon. If you remember, in 1971 ,Pakistani foreces fired so many rounds of bullets on Bangladeshi since six months and killed more than 30 lakhs people and raped more than 10 lakhs ladies and displaced more than 2 cores of people. In 1990, Kashmiris killed more than three lakhs Hindus, raped more than one lakhs Hindu ladies and displaced more than 7 lakhs Hindus. But so far after abrogation of 370 article, not a single bullet has been fired against any civilian and not single civilian has been died by bullet fire. You should appreciate our soldiers and government s for these credit. When you should try to establish peace in Kasmir, you are rather trying to disorganized the situation. This is not true jurnelism. If you see the war at 1990, between American forces and Sadam Husen forces at Iraq, no American jurnelist tried to go to Iraq to find the truth, even not your jurnelists and neither you have tried to write any story on Pakistani aggression on Bangladeshi at 1971 or Kashmiri Muslim aggression on Kashmiri Hindus at 1990 and American aggression on Iraqi s on 1990-1991. So please be peaceful, have patience and help government to bring normalcy at Kasmir.
I believe that normalancy will prevail at Kasmir because , You people, must believe that all this happened that is for the betterment of Kashmiris only.
48 yrs old, history of Bangladesh revisited, only the hero & villain roles are reversed and on more modern destructive scale, missing are Indira Gandhi & the general Manekshaw from both sides, Modi-Shah are no replacement. Let’s wait when war starts, nothing less than war will solve the impassé, the sooner the better.
It’s dull with killing unarmed Kashmiris, it’ll be interesting only when two mighty military fight eachother tooth & nail like hockey match, me & you either evaporated sitting with God or run away to safe havens with cunning politician friends waiting for smoke to settle & rekindle the fire on residual life.
Kashmir conquerors whoever might be, congratulations, meet you in hell or heaven depending on how true or false you & we had been.
Buddies attack, or be attacked don’t be dull.
Had you all come out against agenda of Pakistan and shown solidarity, courage and support in operating schools and routine public activities, there would not have been any requirement for such a protest. Everyone in India want things to get normalized at Kashmir. We do pray for that but positive intentions and support are to be shown and practised by people like you.
This is truly incomprehensible. A way to trigger some kind of protest or movement by bringing these kind of untrusted and seemingly politically motivated moves will do only some good to this of news. Why can’t you decide what r u up against. If there is no internet, then why the hell u feel “the print” has been able to gather the news. Please stop spreading such kind of false rumors or else even Allah won’t be able to save you.
Not clear why internet is required to file stories from the Valley of Kashmir, unless one is doing some deep research. By the way, can The Print do some stories on how the Kashmiri media covered the ethnic cleansing of Hindus from the valley in 1989/ 90, particularly of the fateful night of January 1990, when loud speakers from mosques had this chilling message for Hindus and Sikhs “Ralive, Tsaliv ya Galive (either convert to Islam, leave the land, or die)”?
Most of section of Society in Kashmir has been getting many undue previlages which is stopped now. Being the Print a congress supported media it is trying to create a narrative against center.
In Iraq 100 protesters were killed in police firing in last few days. ( All are Muslims ! ) . Government of Iraq has suspended internet. Compare this with Jammu and Kashmir. Please.
AZAAN JAVAID disguised as journalist is an over ground worker of anti India forces working in India. He is using ThePrint to run anti government propaganda with exaggerated falsehood and Shekhar Gupta is allowing him to use space in ThePrint. This way SG is helping anti India forces.
Your hypocrisy is astounding. Go get a life fake journalist cum jihadi brother.Sheds tears for moslems only.
Rest of us are Kafirs just to be slaughtered.White Italian lady pay master for this platform.
Go figure it
You are not a journalist. Just a partisan moslem jihadi pretending to be one. Don’t u have any shame?
What about your true jihadi feeling towards non moslems? Shame on u and the print giving u a platform?
Hindus also have feelings when driven out of their home and killed for their religious belief?
Go to Mecca and do penance.
Fast internet is not a human right, slow or no cell internet will do. Setup internet cafes monitored against misuse and public phones like it used to be 20 years ago.
Whether or not journalists are able to report freely, the world is getting the message. Senator Elizabeth Warren is the most recent distinguished voice to be raised on this issue.
Agree with you. The world is getting the message. They will keep asking questions
and the narrative of everything is normal will not wash.
Senator Warren is a proven liar. she claimed to be of Red Indian (native American) and got all her benifits . It was proven that she has nothing to do with Native Americans other than that her ancestors may have killed some of them…so stop treating her words as gospel..
The way this journalist describes his “suffering” – there was no journalism before the internet or news published before cell phone connectivity!
To quote Shakespeare – The Lady doth protests too much…
The nefarious intent behind this is plain for all to see , especially when the cost of relaxation is so high and the supposed “rights” ( rights that are self appropriated as Internet is neither a right nor a necessity for a free press in most of the world still ) demand would only mean a degree of less effort required. 8 million Kashmiris are not generating so much news every minute that it’s immediate reportage is either critical or earth shattering. On balance the cost of human life that would be jeopardized would be far greater.
Also, for Kashmiris, whose full time occupation is the cultivation of humiliation and grievance, the internet and cell phone shutdown can be a blessing in disguise as they are insulated as far as possible from the “humiliation” of listening to all the myriad commentary about them .
That’s better than violence and loss of life. It is perfectly legitimate to curtail Internet for a while in the larger interest of national security and integrity.

Kashmiri Muslims seriously need to stop their pathetic made up sob stories. There is NO communication “black out”. Nor is there curfew.
Are all landlines not working in the valley? How did you manage to send this anti-India propaganda without the internet?
How did you used to manage your life in pre internet and mobile era? Saving lives more important or your whatsapp and FB?
Shame on you for writing anti-India rant.
How did this story get through in spite of the the black out?
