A report on the communal violence that devastated northeast Delhi in 2020 says “anti-Muslim prejudice” was a “running thread” on TV news channels around the time.
The TV media projected the protests against the Narendra Modi government’s citizenship law, particularly at Shaheen Bagh, “as conspiratorial and violent”, says the report titled “Uncertain Justice: A Citizens Committee Report on the North East Delhi Violence 2020”. It was put together by retired judges Madan B Lokur, AP Shah, Anjana Prakash, RS Sodhi, and former bureaucrat GK Pillai.
