Taking lessons from the murder of investigative journalist J Dey in Mumbai recently, government today said it was planning to bring a central law to protect journalists.

Law minister M Veerappa Moily said that he has already directed the legislative department to prepare a draft bill to protect journalists and their properties, such as cameras.

"Dey's murder is a matter of grave concern. We need to have a sense of security among journalists," he said.

What we need a strong political will to eradicate the mafia and that is possible only when politicos, bureaucrats, businesses, stop pattronising them.
