“Twenty women were inside the tent when the stones started raining on us...I saw a petrol bomb landing inside our tent and some of our beds caught fire," says Kulwinder Kaur.

“Why did the police stand back and allow the attack to happen?” asked Kulwinder. “How did the men manage to enter this heavily barricaded protest site?” Image
“If the men were locals they would not have come with full police support, they would not have come in big cars, wearing fancy clothes. We know the local people," says Jasbir Das, who has been on intermittent fast for the past 49 days. Image
“We didn’t see the men, they came from inside,” claimed inspector Atul Kumar of the Delhi police.

The farmers denied this. They claimed the mob had made their way to the protest camp along the barricaded road. Image
Not surprisingly, Singhu is quite tense. Contrary to rumours, the Singhu protest isn’t fizzling out. The camp is as crowded as ever.

“The names we gave to the Delhi police on multiple occasions do not find any mention in the chargesheet,” Haroon, Maruf's brother complained. “The men who killed him still roam free in the neighbourhood and harass us.”

Amar Ujala alleged that quarantined Tablighis in Saharanpur defecated in the open after their demand for meat was rejected. This was only one of the lies media spread.

@SharmaAyan006 & @gupta_chahak audit the misreporting on the Nizamuddin congregation.

This is how Suresh Chavhanke, opened his show.

“...appeal to the Narendra Modi government that the #TablighiJamaat be banned. If India’s mosques are posing a threat to Indians, and human bombs carrying #coronavirus are roaming around freely, wouldn’t you call it ‘corona jihad’?"
India TV claimed that they were being undermined by the “spitting habit” of the Tablighis.

A ticker running alongside the video asked, “Which maulana is behind Jamaat’s corona symptoms?” The video was played and replayed, accompanied by ominously suspenseful music.

News Broadcasting Standards Authority has issued an advisory for journalists and media houses reporting on the #AyodhyaHearing.

We'll be watching how TV media reports on proceedings with quick updates.

Times Now is keeping its coverage restrained, noting the verdict will give very little "wiggle room". It sticks to summarising arguments by both sides. bit.ly/AyodhyaTVNews
Zee News has a constant hum of Ram bhajans playing as background score, even as the anchor declares that the verdict today is limited to a title suit.

There is a new channel on your DTH. It's called "NaMo TV" and streams everything Narendra Modi.

But is it a news channel?
Is it an entertainment channel?
What is it exactly and who owns it?
Who pays for it?

@QuilledWords did some intensive digging to find answers.

#Thread
Back in 2012, the Gujarat state BJP unit had partnered with 5 local Gujarati channels to launch NaMo TV. But the pioneers of the channel deny any involvement with the current one.

During a recent interview with ABP News, even PM Modi feigned ignorance about the channel.
As it stands today, PM Modi’s official mobile app has a link to NaMo TV. Even the BJP official handle has tweeted about it.

But it is still not clear who owns or funds the 24-hour channel, which borrows the PM's initials and his image for its logo.
