In the aftermath of the assault on media-persons that took place in the Ottapalam court premises on Tuesday in Kerala, mainstream media in the state were quick to condemn the attack.

The perpetrators of the said crime allegedly owed allegiance to the saffron party and had taken umbrage at the media which had gathered there when police produced six BJP workers arrested in connection with post-assembly poll clashes in Nellayi in court.

With mainstream media coming down heavily on the same, journalists associated with Janam TV -affiliated to the BJP and RSS - took to Facebook to register their concern for the reportedly blatant bias shown by the media in Kerala.
