The KWJA also said, “We strongly contest NIA's definition of journalism and affirm that it is not the job of a journalist to cover bridge inaugurations or birthday parties of government and political functionaries, and if NIA does not understand the basics that separate PR from journalism, it puts its own investigating capabilities into question.” NIA, it said, should desist from delivering lectures on journalism. “The KWJA also takes this moment to reflect on the larger tragedy of journalism in Kashmir exposed by the arrest of Kamran Yousuf. More than the government or investigation agencies Kamran, a young journalist, has been failed by the fraternity, all of us together. Let us admit that the journalistic fraternity in Kashmir, including us, has failed to stand up for Kamran Yousuf since his arrest on Sept. 5 last year, leave alone strive for his release”, the statement reads.
