A day after reports of a police complaint against Aaj Tak anchor Sudhir Chaudhary over his remarks purportedly questioning Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren’s tribal identity and rights under the SC/ST Act, Chaudhary has called the allegations “baseless”.
In a statement on X, responding to “all the hateful posts” directed towards him, the anchor said he is “pained” over the “baseless” accusations of “insulting tribals”. He said criticising Soren does “not tantamount to insult of tribals”.
