The Editors Guild of India (EGI) and the Sports Journalists’ Federation of India (SJFI) on Friday outrightly rejected the “appalling” accreditation norms put forward by the Indian Premier League (IPL) authorities.In a letter addressed to the BCCI President Sharad Pawar and IPL Chairman Lalit Modi, the Guild said, “With deep regret and dismay, we are forced to point out that there are prohibitive conditions in the terms and conditions attached with the (accreditation) form…These conditions are unprecedented and unacceptable to the Indian media, to say the least.”

Both EGI and SJFI were irked by the conditions which state that the media cannot use image or photograph in any other publication even if it belongs to the same organisation.
