Old City clashes: Channels aired provocative content

Some of the local Urdu channels has aired provocative and strictly objectionable content after the eruption of communal clashes in Old City making things even worse. Apart from telecasting the provocative vidoes and images, they have uploaded the videos on YouTube making it available for people all over the world.

Showing the pictures of a muslim woman a holding a boy tightly resembling Lord Krishna, Lord Ram aiming an arrow at MIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi and A burqa-clad woman worshipping Hindu gods, the channels had attributed the content was being circulated by Hindu outfits on social networking sites.

The channels had clearly violated the norms put up by the Cable Network Regulation Act (CNRA) and the News Broadcasters Association (NBA). However, the police have failed to take action against these channels and when questioned about the same, they tried to defend themselves by saying that the reach of these Urdu channels was limited to the Old City.
