He also congratulated Shuja-ul-Haq for being elected as a president and all fresh and talented office bearers. “Kashmir is one of the most challenging places for journalists to report from. Despite mounting challenges, journalists must continue to keep the public informed.” “The press should always be antagonistic and aggressive and not kowtow to any dispensation or any party or forum.
