RS media panel secy quits to protest curbs on journalists’ access to House

No meaningful purpose to serve on the committee anymore, Anant Bagaitkar wrote in a letter to the Rajya Sabha chairman.

To register a protest against the curbs on media access to parliament, senior journalist Anant Bagaitkar on Tuesday resigned as the secretary of the Media Advisory Committee to the Rajya Sabha, the Press Club of India tweeted.

The committee consists of representatives from media organisations accredited to the Press Gallery of the Rajya Sabha and its role is to “render advice to the Rajya Sabha Secretariat regarding admission of various media organisations to the Press Gallery”.

In a letter to the Rajya Sabha chairman, the former PCI president wrote that Covid-19 protocols were put in place in 2020, limiting media access to the House. “We will be entering 2022 in the next few days. When the restrictions all over have been either withdrawn or largely relaxed the media is still facing restrictions in covering parliament which is the supreme – highest representative body of the people in India,” he wrote.
