The Congress leader's remarks come a day after the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar released findings of its much-awaited caste survey months ahead of polls. NEW DELHI: The Congress on Tuesday alleged that the raids on contributing journalists at Newsclick were a “fresh distraction” from the “explosive” findings of the caste survey in Bihar and the growing demand for a caste census across the country.
Delhi Police’s Special Cell on Tuesday morning conducted raids at 30 premises connected with the online portal NewsClick as well as its journalists’ houses, triggering outrage among scribes.
