NDTV’s Ravish Kumar (left), Mohammad Shahrukh, Delhi rioter (right) whom Ravish identified as ‘Anurag Mishra’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNDTV Editor Ravish Kumar has proven yet again how certain section of mainstream media is complicit in spreading misinformation, conjectures and sometimes blatant lies to fan violence under the guise of \u2018freedom of press\u2019. In his show<\/span><\/a> \u2018Prime Time\u2019 on 26th February, 2020, Ravish Kumar resorted to spreading half-truths and full lies.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nMost shocking is when Ravish, while speaking about the February 24 shooter who fired at Delhi Police personnel, identifies Mohammad Shahrukh<\/span><\/a> as \u2018Anurag Mishra\u2019. For the 26th February show, Ravish claims that police has not yet arrested him while he was arrested on 25th February itself, good 24 hours before his show premiered. \u201cPolice ki haalat yeh hai ki abhi tak giraftar nahin hua hai. Police saaf kehti hai ki Shahrukh hai magar aap social media mein dekhiye Anurag Mishra bataya jaa raha hai. (Situation of Police is such that they have not yet arrested him. Police says his name is Shahrukh but if you see on social media, he is called Anurag Mishra),\u201d he says. Which is surprising because no one has referred to the shooter as \u201cAnurag Mishra\u201d till now.<\/p>\nHe then asks Delhi Police to speak out on his identity again. He then plays an undated speech of his reporter who appears to be asking Delhi Police personnel about Shahrukh\u2019s arrest. Slyly, Ravish Kumar then plays the videos of BJP leaders Anurag Thakur, Kapil Mishra and Pravesh Verma addressing rallies ahead of Delhi elections to cast aspersions that their speeches have led to the riots a month later.<\/p>\n

Ravish briefly mentions how the family has accused Aam Aadmi Party \u2018leader\u2019 (Ravish chooses not to name AAP corporator Tahir Hussain the family has categorically accused) but then blames television debates on provocative speeches.

Ravish, in his show, plays a clip about a Muslim man heckling NSA Ajit Doval making wild allegations that the anti-CAA riots are RSS sponsored and that Home Minister Amit Shah is at the helm of it. Trying to make a point of incidents of shooting that have happened in last one month, Ravish Kumar says that it is the responsibility of Police and Home Ministry that no one is roaming around on the streets wielding guns. He talks about January 30 incident where Rambhakt Gulshan<\/span><\/a>, a minor, shot at anti-CAA protests in Jamia Nagar. He speaks about Kapil Gurjar<\/span><\/a>, an Aam Aadmi Party member, who opened fire in Shaheen Bagh just two days later. Ravish Kumar suffers selective amnesia where he forgets to mention that Gurjar, along with his father are Aam Aadmi Party members. He, however, does remember to mention how Gurjar had shouted that in our country only the will of Hindus will prevail.<\/p>\nRavish\u2019s reporter nonchalantly asks people who are quite obviously in fear and are appearing to be fleeing to safe place if they are afraid. Perhaps he was expecting that the people fleeing area to escape mob violence perpetrated by anti-CAA rioters should look happy and make merry while running for their lives.\u00a0He even asks if \u2018yahan darr ka mahaul to nahin hai na?
