Following reports of NDTV planning to lay off 25 per cent of its staff, the Press Club of India has written to Prannoy Roy to say that the move is disturbing and that the club would like to invite him to address a meet at their premises to explain to the journalistic community the "logic and reasoning behind any such move of large scale retrenchment." It gently reminded him that the Press Club of India had taken a lead role in "organising protest meets whenever NDTV was targeted by the government or curbs were sought to be put on it."
