Kerala Police files FIR against Zee News Editor-in-Chief Sudhir Chaudhary for explaining jihad that offended Muslims

The fire of fight among left-wing and right-wing have burnt the media every time. If any media appreciates steps of Modi government they are categorised into right-wing and when it criticises Modi government it becomes left-wing. However, in today's era when India should be a development-oriented nation, the country is going ages back to the issue of Hindu-Muslim fight.  

After Republic TV chief Arnab Goswami was attacked by goons for speaking against Congress's Sonia Gandhi, Kerala Police on Thursday filed an FIR under non-bailable sections against Zee News Editor-in-Chief Sudhir Chaudhary for making incendiary remarks about the Muslim community in his show.

“The highlight of the show aired on 11 March was the ‘jihad chart’,” the FIR stated, according to reports. “The accused presented a programme that is offending the Muslim religion.”

In his prime time programme on Wednesday evening, Chaudhary used a diagram to break down the many ways he alleged Muslims are waging “jihad” on Hindus in India. Chaudhary claimed there was “hard” and “soft” jihad. The first category, the anchor alleged, included “population jihad”, “love jihad” and “land jihad”. “Soft jihad” included “economic jihad”, “history jihad” and “media jihad”.

Chaudhary then went on to focus on “zameen jihad”, or land jihad, claiming, “Some people are playing the trick of capturing the government’s land to change the population in terms of religion.” He added that “Islamists” are even trying to “change the religion of land, jungles and rivers”.

The TV anchor slammed the Kerala Police and said he was being “awarded” for “exposing inconvenient facts.” “Here’s my Pulitzer Prize for reporting the truth,” Chaudhary said in a tweet, attaching a copy of the FIR. “A clear message for media. If you don’t toe the decades-old pseudo-secular line you’ll be behind bars.”
