It was another pinnacle of on-ground reporting. Aaj Tak’s Anjana Om Kashyap atop a bulldozer eulogised the “crackdown on illegal construction”, mostly belonging to Muslims, in Delhi’s Jahangirpuri in April last year. Days before her “historic reportage” on the then BJP-led Delhi municipal body’s “bulldozer action”, the area had witnessed communal flare-ups.
But Kashyap didn’t quite make the connection between the violence and the bulldozer. Instead, she posed difficult questions to the heavy machine operator — why had he razed “only the roof” of a juice shop in the locality, “why not the whole shop?”
