The Editors Guild of India on Friday asked the Centre to withdraw amendments to the IT Rules, saying that they will have “deeply adverse implications for press freedom in the country”.
In a statement released a day after the IT Ministry notified the new rules, the Guild asked the government to hold consultations with media organisations and press bodies, as it had promised after withdrawing the earlier draft amendments released in January 2023.
