AAP govt using state power to muzzle media, alleges Oppn after Punjab Kesari group claims being targeted

JALANDHAR (PUNJAB): (Jan 16) Opposition parties in Punjab on Thursday hit out at the AAP government alleging it was using state power to muzzle the press.

Leader of Opposition in Punjab Partap Singh Bajwa alleged that the ruling AAP is using state power to muzzle the press while BJP state president Sunil Jakhar said he strongly condemns the "attack on media's freedom" and added that a BJP delegation will meet the governor on January 17 in this regard.
