Booked, yet undeterred

IN Media Watch Briefs | 13/04/2017

Suresh Chavhanke, the editor in chief of Sudarshan News, who was booked for making communally sensitive  remarks through his channel and website, has taken to Twitter to whip up support for himself. His followers have come up with this hashtag: #chavhanke4hindu. And his own tweets are repeatedly about those who consider Afzal their Guru and Ishrat their daughter. The Hindu reported that through the website of the channel he has been appealing to Hindus to reach Sambhal, a communally sensitive district in Western UP, to stake claim over a mosque which he says was once a Hindu temple.
