Guntur - Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday said that the seizure of Sakshi accounts by the CBI in connection with illegal assets case of Kadapa MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, was not a violation of freedom of press.

Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and Jaganmohan Reddy would have been in jail long ago had Congress high command responded to TDP's corruption charges against the late CM and his son.

Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, Naidu said that there was no threat either to the freedom of speech or freedom of press in the state. "Is it not the duty of the investigation agency to find out who is funding and from where the funds are coming in? Don't club the freedom of media and corrupt practices together," Naidu said.

Naidu said that the YSR government had given away all government land to private sector in name of Special Economic Zones and had even targeted the land of the poor farmers.

CBI had taken a similar action in Kalaignar television case. Naidu found fault with senior journalists and writers for supporting Sakshi group in the issue. "It is not proper for senior journalists and writers to support corrupt people in such issues. They should in fact support the CBI," Naidu said.
