Journalists of the allegedly pro-Telangana TV channels T News, HMTV, Janata News, Munsiff TV, V-6 TV and Namaste Telangana newspaper were denied entry into the venue of the global biodiversity convention to cover Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s address to delegates on Oct 16. Fresh passes were given to those covering the event just before it started and others with previously issued passes were not allowed to enter. The Working Journalists and the Indian Journalists Union gave a call for a protest rally. (The Hindu)
