Hyderabad, May 8: In a surprising move, CBI has frozen the accounts of Jagati Publications, publishers of Sakshi newspaper, Indira Teligision, and Janani Infra companies owned by the YSR Congress president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday.
CBI has taken this action under section of the 102 of the C R P C as it suspects that investments into these companies came through suspicious means.
Jagan who has been away at Anantapur at the time of the decision, has said he knew all along that CBI would do this some day. Addressing an election meeting at Kanekal in Rayadurgam constituency of Anantapur district, he said freezing of accounts was stamping out democratic rights. He said Sakshi media could not be contained through such draconian acts.
The Telangana Electronic Media Journalists Association has condemned the CBI act. The association has warned that the government should own responsibility for the inconvenience caused to the Journalists. Senior Editor ABK Prasad has also termed the CBI act as undemocratic.
Andhra Pradesh Union of Working Journalists Union Vice President, Ramesh has also described freezing of Sakshi accounts as interference with the freedom of the press, as enshrined in the constitution.
