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.
