Kolkata, June 1

Summoning by the Kolkata police of Anirban Chattopadhyay, editor of Anandabazar Patrika, and his subsequent resignation has triggered a controversy.

Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar and CPI (M) West Bengal unit secretary Surjya Kanta Misra have stated that the summoning of the 62-year-old editor by the police was an attempt to muzzle the voice of the press. The Governor recently tweeted that he had sought update from the Home Secretary regarding summoning of Chattopadhyay. “Freedom of press is non-negotiable. It is the spine of democracy and guaranteed by the Constitution,” Dhankhar tweeted.— TNS
