Why was no legal action taken with immediately applicable? And why is the journalist association has to make a decision for his punishment? The disgrace should be stripped off from any part of society. I have been meticulously observing that most of the time if a media person (so called journalist) commits a crime, it does not appear in news. We should strongly condemn any type of cruelty that damages our society. No bias. Thanks for bringing up the news.
