Hyderabad, March 26: The Praja Rajyam Party has requested the Andhra Pradesh government to conduct an independent inquiry into the attack on their party activists allegedly by the staffers of a local news channel between March 20 and 23.
In a letter to Chief Minister K Rosaiah here today, the PRP MLAs, led by party chief Chiranjeevi, also sought protection to them from the ABN Andhra Jyothy Telugu news channel staff and demanded that a criminal case be registered against its managing director V Radhakrishna.
“Please order an inquiry into the attack on PRP workers and register criminal case against the television channel MD and other staff involved in the crime,” the MLAs said in the letter.
The legislators wanted the government to take appropriate steps to curb ‘yellow journalism’.
