 You see the club premises has been mysteriously locked up and nobody is taking the responsibility. Our people approach district administration and also the police and they are saying that they don't know anything about it. See, this is no different from a daylight robbery. This is an illegal action by a disgruntled group of journalists who self-appointed and self-anointed themselves as a KPC management. It has no backing up the law and it's totally illegal and arbitrarily. They were taken over as interim body for the press club to run it during today's affairs. Okay? Whatever the problems are, our jealous brothers, because I am part of them, they should not consider us. We have taken it over by force. We have the support of you, me, everybody. We want it because there has been a delay in the elections. So we have taken it over for day-to-day affairs of running the day-to-day affairs of the club. So give us time. We will do everything for the club. We will flourish and make it. We will also work for the jealous group individually if there is any problem. We also try to approach the people who claim that they represent the club and they, you know, had initiated a new body. But they also are saying that they don't know about the law. But my only concern is that it is the government's and administration's fundamental responsibility to uphold the democratic principle, uphold the democratic credentials of democratic institutions. On that day, the EJNK administration had actually declared a weekend curfew. And on that weekend curfew, when all journalists had, you know, kind of maintained COVID-19 protocol and adhered to the weekend restrictions. And this bunch of journalists who self-appointed themselves as a new interim body came, you know, with the post of police and paramilitary armed forces. So this is indeed a renegade style of, you know, kind of coup, where they want to take control of the institution which has been founded with a lot of, you know, sweat and blood. There were elections, free and fair elections where lawyers and senior journalists acted as election commission. And because they have a grudge, they lost elections and that too very badly. I think they still nurse that grudge and they, with the help of, you know, it's a shame that journalists will take help from the armed forces to take control of an independent journalist media body. As I was told by my manager, Mr. Sajat, he said that they forcefully entered into the office and forcefully took over the office seals and the letter hats and then forcefully took over the mail, official mail of the club and just posted that message wherein they declared that they are the management. Mr. Salim, tell us about the members and what are the other members? Tell us about the internal members, their names and their announcements. Yes. And along with that, when are the elections going to take place? Look, what we have done right now, right now, we are only the interim president and the general secretary and our treasurer. Okay? We are authorized with, you have done this to us. So after that, what we will do is we will make committees, okay? Different committees. We will look at different things. For example, we will look at the membership, who we are, whether they are really eligible to be the member of this club or not. We will look at that as well. And we will also look at the rest of the issues, okay? And tell us about that. When will that happen? No, look, until we run this smoothly and make it here, it is in the making. It was also in the making. If the government doesn't come forward, doesn't deploy some officers to open at least the gates because the claim to the representation of the club is a different matter now. This has been illegally locked up. And this tantamounts to trespassing. Government should take action because the government has installed CCTV cameras. Nobody can say that we don't know who locked up the premises. Everything is recorded. The police can check the CCTV footage and immediately trace that who has locked it up, which is an illegal activity. He cannot lock up parliament. He cannot lock up judiciary. He cannot lock up press premises. So this is right now the first and foremost and very burning. Perhaps this was the only institution after the changes that were made on August 5, 2019, which was acting independently. And the rest of the local media, the newspapers, as you know, their major source of revenue comes from the government advertisements. So unfortunately, I think they also had a miscalculation. They thought that independent journalists working for international media organizations and other organizations also depend on advertisements. So they thought that after this coup, they will be able to silence them. But this does not happen that way. It will definitely affect and it is part of a larger crackdown to further stifle freedom of expression and freedom of speech and freedom of press in Kashmir. It's totally illegal and arbitrary act, which is highly condemnable. And this action has been condemned by all the fraternity members and the associations as you must be aware of it. Mr. Salim, you said that you took this vote unanimously. Yes. How many votes do you have? Where is the vote at this time? Tell me, how is the vote? You give us time. We'll prove that. This is the second question of the time. I am saying that how many votes do you have? You have given it for six months. Which was the first committee. No, no. He did not question them. Tell me this. You are a part of us. You tell me. You are not with us. I am not. Okay. Okay. I agree. Mr. Salim, how many votes do you have? Who are you with? I am not. Mr. Salim, we support you more than 250 votes. We support you more than 250 votes. Like Shahid is saying, I am with you. This is a matter of soul. What do you want? What do you want? Mr. Salim, we are with you. This is a suggestion. What happened today is a decision that you have come for arbitrarily. You have captured it for arbitrarily. Yes. You do it. This is a very good car. You can call it Paior tomorrow. No, no. My brother, you also come. You also come. You beat the part of us. No, I am not saying. You also come. I am just asking you. You also come. You give us a suggestion. How will you come? You see, probably this is across the country. This is probably the only media institution. It has been defiled like this. I mean, some people, some journalists who claim that they don't recognize the elected body. They come and they claim that they are the representatives and they lock up. You can see that countries, you know, most repeated organizations have come forward and condemned it. Be it editor skilled of India, be it Delhi union of journalists, be it Delhi press club. Everybody is condemning it. And I don't know why government is happy to take all the blame on itself. The government should come forward, open the gates and then the matters could be resolved. It's a shame. It's a shame on journalists if someone calls himself or herself a journalist and then takes help from the police or the armed forces and takes control of independent elected bodies and threatens them and then locks the entire institution. So you know who is on the right side and who is on the wrong side. History will judge. What was the president for six months, last six months? Wasn't that bad, presidents? What happened for last six months? Yes. Wasn't that bad, presidents? Who said that bad presidents? They had informed us already, they had informed us. How? You? You? Who? Registration. No. They should have formed an interim body. They should have formed an interim body on 14th of July, 2021 and announced that these people will run the affairs up. So they have said the bad presidents, they are responsible for the mess. Your two wrongs don't make one right. What you have done today is arbitrary. How will you run this? There was a notice of election, right? Look, I have something with them. I am a member of the press. Nothing. My brother's turn is over. We are members of the press. Thank you very much.
