Mullah, mian, and bhai jaan are back. So is ‘love jihad’. Across Hindi television news channels, Muslims have been making news – for all the wrong reasons. So what else is new? Hindi TV news channels' favourite villain the Muslim is back
The channels carry news about Kavadiya processions in Uttarakhand, where Muslim dhaba owners are accused of changing their names and serving food to the kavadiyas – with onions in it (News 18 India).
Muslims in Bihar were seen and heard objecting to ‘SIR’ in Bihar. In ‘Musalmaan ka haal kya?’ News 24 spoke to Muslims who visited the offices of the Election Commission during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, and found that they had a long list of complaints. Wonder why only Muslims are being asked to speak on SIR. Are other communities untouched by this process?
