A controversy has erupted in Jammu and Kashmir after the Omar Abdullah-led government ordered verification of journalists, seeking their personal and professional details. Opposition leaders and press bodies have criticized the move, calling it an attack on media freedom and an unnecessary intrusion into journalistic independence.
While the government claims the step is meant to ensure accountability, critics argue that it could intimidate reporters and set a dangerous precedent. The debate has reignited nationwide discussions on the balance between press freedom and state oversight a cornerstone of any democracy.
