ERNAKULAM: Ernakulam District BJP has lodged a complaint with the Ernakulam District Legal Cell Police against MediaOne channel for deliberately attempting to disrupt religious harmony in the country. The complaint has been forwarded to the state police chief.
An article published online by MediaOne web, in connection with the riots in Manipur, contains reports that disturb the peace of the country. The article was crafted with false information, including an insult to the Prime Minister. As a result, the BJP has filed a case against the reporter and editor involved, specifically naming reporter M Binoj Nair in the petition.
The complaint highlights that the article was part of a deliberate effort to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere between the Hindu and Christian communities in the country.
The BJP District Legal Cell demands that legal action be taken against the channel under the sections of the Prevention of Insurgency Act, Prevention of Atrocities against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Act, and Violation of the Information Technology Act.
The BJP further alleges that MediaOne has repeatedly misused media freedom and attempted to disrupt the harmony of the country.
