I.N.D.I.A decided to ‘boycott’ certain TV news anchors who they deem “biased” and think “communalise” news debates. These are: Aman Chopra, Amish Devgan, and Anand Narasimhan of News18; Chitra Tripathi and Sudhir Chaudhary of Aaj Tak; Gaurav Sawant and Shiv Aroor of India Today; Prachi Parashar of India TV; Arnab Goswami of Republic Bharat; Rubika Liyaquat of Bharat 24; Navika Kumar and Sushant Sinha of Times Now Navbharat; Aditi Tyagi of Bharat Express; and Ashok Shrivastav of DD News. The decision was taken during the first meeting of the I.N.D.I.A Coordination Committee on Wednesday, where it authorised the Sub-Group on Media will draw up the names of anchors. “Sub group of media to decide upon the names of the anchors in whose shows none of the INDIA parties will send their representatives,” said Congress leader KC Venugopal. BJP releases statement Soon after the Opposition bloc announced the names of the news anchors to be boycotted, the Bharatiya Janata Party released a statement on X, formerly Twitter, saying, “I.N.D.I Alliance giving direct threat to the media is like gagging the media for speaking the truth.” It added, “This also shows that the ‘ghamandiya’ alliance has no courage to face the truth. The Bharatiya Janata Party severely criticises the unfortunate step of the I.N.D.I Alliance.”
