Subject: Urgent Request for a National ‘Journalist Protection Act’.
Respected Sir,
As a concerned citizen, I urge your government to enact a Journalist Protection Act to safeguard the "Fourth Estate." Journalists—especially those investigating corruption—increasingly face physical violence, arbitrary detention, and legal harassment.
To ensure a transparent democracy, this Act should include:
●Strict Penalties: Make physical attacks on journalists a non-bailable offense with fast-track trials.
●Source Protection: Legally shield journalists from being forced to reveal confidential sources.
●Anti-Harassment Clauses: Prevent the misuse of laws to silence or intimidate the media.
●Welfare Support: Universal insurance and security for independent and regional reporters.
Protecting journalists is essential to protecting the truth. I look forward to your leadership on this critical reform.
Jai Hind
