New Delhi : The Indian Women’s Press Corps (IWPC) today expressed outrage at the dastardly killing of senior journalist Gauri Lankesh in Bangalore. “Gauri was a trenchant critic of obscurantism and conservative values. The silencing of a journalist in this manner has dangerous portents for democracy.
“We demand that the government apprehend the perpetrators at the earliest and expose those behind this planned murder of a senior woman journalist,” IWPC said in a statement. IWPC will tomorrow hold a joint protest with the Press Club of India and the Press Association.
Gauri, aged 55, was shot dead by unidentified assailants at the entrance of her residence in Rajarajeshwari Nagar. She edited Kannada tabloid ‘Gauri Lankesh Patrike’ besides owning some other publications, and was known for her forthright views against hardline Hindutva politics.
