NBSA directs AajTak to remove video of Sudhir Chaudhary's show on 2023 Ram Navami violence

Op India  

On Thursday, February 29, the News Broadcasting and Digital Standards Authority directed Hindi news channel AajTak to delete a video of a show anchored by its news anchor Sudhir Chaudhary on the violence that had swept different parts of the country on March 30 last year on the occasion of Ram Navami. Commenting on how Islamists, leftist-liberals, and several opposition leaders accused Hindus of passing through “Muslim areas” during the Ram Navami procession, Sudhir Chaudhary questioned why certain areas are classified as ‘Muslim areas’ when we don’t classify other regions as Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Christian or Parsi areas. After Ram Navami violence Mamata Banerjee resorted to dog-whistling, alleges Hindus deliberately entered Muslim areas with guns and bombs Hours after Islamists ran riots against Hindus celebrating Ram Navami in Howrah, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee attempted to blame the violence on ‘outsiders.’ “You bring goons-on-hire from outside of Bengal, carry out arson, and orchestrate riots here…We have never stopped you from conducting rallies… Who permitted you to hold rallies with swords and bulldozers?” she said during a protest rally against the Union government. From Vadodara in Gujarat to Howrah in West Bengal, from Mumbai to Sambhaji Nagar, cities and towns across the length and breadth of the country were smouldering with the fire of religious zealotry as Islamists attacked Ram Navami processions while they were traversing through Muslim-majority regions or as the ‘liberals’ call them ‘Muslim areas’.
