टाइम्स न्यूज नवभारत भी घृणा फैलाने में पीछे नहीं, एक लाख रुपये का जुर्माना और वीडियो हटाने के निर्देश

News Broadcasting and Digital Standards Authority imposes a fine of Rs 1 lakh on @TNNavbharat since a show hosted by @himanshdxt was found to have targeted the Muslim community & generalised inter-faith relationships as “love jihad”.

NBDSA asks the channel to remove the video.

NBDSA finds that when some of the panellists expressed concerns about the communal angle, the anchor “shouted them down and did not allow them to express their views”.

NBDSA : There may be some instances where boys from a particular community married Hindu girls. However, some such instances should not lead to making generalized statements regarding inter-faith marriages giving them a communal colour

NBDSA : Every citizen, from whichever religion, has a right to marry a person of his/her choice, irrespective of the religion to which he/she belongs. Merely because a Hindu girl married a boy of another faith would not tantamount to love jihad unless it is established that such a Hindu girl was duped or coerced into the marriage. Further, because of few incidents of such forced marriages, an entire community cannot be branded.
