<p>&nbsp;Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh.</p>

<p>&nbsp; Under the banner of Indian Journalist Association, dozens of electronic media, print media journalists, under the leadership of Surendra Kumar Singh Purvanchal Pradesh President, submitted a memorandum addressed to the President of India to Deputy District Magistrate Campierganj, Arun Kumar Singh, demanding protection and security of the journalists.<br />
&nbsp;State President of Indian Journalist Association Purvanchal Surendra Kumar Singh said that journalism is the fourth pillar of democracy.&nbsp; Media in India has always contributed selflessly for the protection and security of democratic traditions and public system.&nbsp; Journalists are successfully discharging their role as protectors of democracy and vigilant watchdogs of the society.&nbsp; But in the past years, incidents of repressive incidents with journalists, kidnappings, murders, attacks have put the freedom of the media in danger.&nbsp; Which is having an impact on the security of democracy and democratic traditions.<br />
&nbsp;He said that continuous disclosures are being made by Dainik Bhaskar and Bharat Samachar on deaths due to Covid, unemployment and rising inflation.&nbsp; Due to which the policies of the dictatorial government of the Center and the state are being exposed in front of the public. To suppress the voice of the fourth column, the government raided the houses and establishments of Brajesh Mishra, Chief Editor of Bharat Samachar and State Head Virendra Singh from the Income Tax Department.&nbsp; Threatened and suppressed.&nbsp; With this action a conspiracy is being hatched to suppress and defame the fourth pillar active as a hardworking, honest, militant revolutionary, which is condemnable.&nbsp; Due to this cowardly action of the government, there is anger among all the media personnel of the country.&nbsp; Today, in the country, the journalists have faced an odd situation.&nbsp; The security of journalists, the fourth pillar of democracy, is in danger.&nbsp; Incidents of sending journalists to jail after implicating them in fake cases, threats, murders are happening continuously.&nbsp; Instead of protecting journalists, the government itself is the aggressor.&nbsp; In such a situation, such a law should be made so that journalists can be safe and can do their work freely and impartially.&nbsp; Journalists Protection Act should be made for the protection of journalists.&nbsp; Journalists Pension Scheme and Journalists Provident Fund should be established in the country.&nbsp; Journalists should be insured collectively at government expense.&nbsp; Action should be taken only if found guilty after conducting an inquiry into the complaints lodged against journalists.<br />
&nbsp;He said that a safe environment is very important to keep democracy safe in the country.&nbsp; This is not possible without providing proper security to the journalists of the country.<br />
&nbsp;Tehsil in-charge Chandraprakash Agrahari said that such vandalism should be stopped.&nbsp; Otherwise this step of the government will not be in the interest of the country.<br />
