Press Club members stage demo
Karur, Aug 12 (UNI) Members of the local Press Club today staged a slogan shouting demonstration, demanding withdrawal of FIR filed against 18 jounalists here.
The demonstrators urged the Tamil Nadu Government to withdraw the FIR filed against the jounalists, following a clash between them and the employees of a private bus body building unit.
They alleged that the police, instead of booking the ''real culprits,'' had registered cases against the jounalists.
The clash occurred when a group of jounalists went to cover a fire mishap at the unit two days ago.
