The Deputy Chief Minister made the statement to the media earlier today.

A team of the Jammu & Kashmir Police's State Investigation Agency (SIA), which conducted a raid at the office of Kashmir Times in Jammu this morning, left the premises around 6 p.m. today.

When asked about allegations that the newspaper was involved in anti-national activities, J&K Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary said, “The agencies are doing their job. If a raid has to be conducted, it should be done on everyone. it should not be on a pick-and-choose basis. If they have done anything wrong, action should be taken, but not just to create pressure. The press is the fourth estate, and it should have the space to practice journalism.”
