Huffington Post caught misreporting on Delhi anti-Hindu riots

Op India  

The “liberal-secular” media, which has been at the forefront of spreading false propaganda concerning the anti-Hindu riots, has yet again been exposed for its malicious false reporting. The Huffington Post is now caught peddling false propaganda against the doctors of the reputed Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital and Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan hospital in Delhi claiming that the doctors of the hospital discriminated the victims of riots during the treatment. In its report, the Huffington Post had claimed that at least one doctor in the Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital made communal remarks against a Delhi riot victim by referring to the person as “ugravadi” and “atankvadi” during treatment. It is malicious,” said Dr Sunil Kumar, Medical Director of GTB Hospital in Delhi, debunking @HuffPostIndia story which alleged discrimination by doctors in treating patients of #DelhiRiots. Dr Kishore Singh, Medical Director of LNJP Hospital, also slammed Huffington Post for its malicious reporting on anti-Hindu Delhi riots.
