New Delhi, 31.08.2013 : The Broadcast Editors' Association (BEA) is shocked at the attack on media persons allegedly by supporters of Asaram Bapu. Condemning the attack, BEA demands immediate steps for safety and security of media persons as democracy cannot afford to allow anybody to hold the rule of law to ransom.
Any such attack is an attempt to prevent media from discharging it's legitimate duty of dissemination of information- a duty that is vital to the healthy functioning of a democracy.
