New Delhi, Jun 7 (UNI) Refuting charges that the raids by the CBI in connection with the case against NDTV founder Prannoy Roy were an assault on freedom of press, Information and Broadcasting Minister M Venkaiah Naidu today said the investigating agency did not enter the premises of the news channel.
 
Talking to reporters here, Mr. Naidu, responding to the criticism by the Editors' Guild of India, Press Club of India and All India Newspaper Editors' Conference that the CBI raids were an attack on freedom of the press, said, ''No raids were carried out on the offices of the channel.

He said, The raids did not affect in any way the news operations. The CBI did not enter the premises of the channel, the newsroom or TV studio or any other related offices of the media channel.
 
He dismissed the charges of vendetta levelled by the NDTV saying that ''the promoters of NDTV, Prannoy and Radhika Roy, should submit to due process of the law as there are questions on their operations that need disclosures''.
