Senior journalist TN Ninan said that holding meetings and issuing statements is not enough, but there is a need to raise voice in one voice for various media including print, TV and digital media. Ninan said, 'We must agree on the basis of freedom of journalism.' He said that there is a need to arrange legal aid for journalists facing FIRs. He suggested setting up of a committee of lawyers in different cities for the cases filed against journalists.

The resolution also called for the continuation of Kovid-19 restrictions in the Press Gallery of the Lok Sabha and the Central Hall of Parliament and a 'ban' on visual media during the nomination process of NDA candidate Draupadi Murmu for the presidential election to be held on July 18. has been termed as 'worrisome'.
