Punjab AAP Govt Faces Allegations of Press Intimidation

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab is facing allegations of intimidating the Punjab Kesari media group.

The government has taken actions like issuing excise violation notices and deploying police around the newspaper's presses.

The owners of the media group say these actions are meant to intimidate them because they reported critically about the government.

The government says they are just following the law.

This is not the first time the AAP government has faced such allegations.

Earlier, they were accused of targeting an RTI activist who asked about the CM's chopper use.

The timing and selective application of rules make people believe there might be a witch hunt against critics.
