Jamia Millia Islamia Thursday wrote to the Union Education Ministry asking them to take action against Sudarshan News channel and its editor-in-chief Suresh Chavhanke for “tarnishing” the image of the university. We told them that Sudarshan channel has not only tried to tarnish the image of JMI and a particular community but the image of UPSC also,” said Jamia PRO Ahmed Azeem. “A news story targeting candidates in civil services on the basis of religion is being promoted by Sudarshan TV. Jamia V-C Najma Akhtar told The Indian Express that the university is not likely to go to court over the issue. If my show is found unconstitutional or doesn’t meet the standard of broadcast authority, then let there be action against me.”📣 The Indian Express is now on Telegram.
