Naidu Rebuked by SC on Journalist Arrest, Says Jagan

Jagan alleged that Naidu's "yellow gang" falsely attributed remarks to Kommineni, then launched a coordinated disinformation campaign. This reportedly incited widespread vandalism and attacks, including on Sakshi media offices under the pretext of "women's protests," thereby suppressing media freedom and democratic principles.

Naidu's continued efforts to link the alleged remarks to the YSR Congress Party and Sakshi Media, even post-incident, underscore a clear political conspiracy, he added. “The Supreme Court's ruling today dismantled this narrative, questioning Kommineni's culpability as an anchor simply presenting an analyst's views,” the former CM stated. This incident has once again cast a national spotlight on the issue of arbitrary arrests in Andhra Pradesh, reinforcing the principle that truth ultimately prevails over distortions and lies, Jagan claimed.
