Three weeks ago, a primetime anchor on Zee UP-Uttarakhand declared that students at Aligarh Muslim University had “sloganeered in support of the terrorist group Hamas”.
The channel wasn’t alone. At least eight others – Network18 UP Uttrakhand, Times Now Navbharat, Times Now, Network18 India, ABP Ganga, India Today, News State, Republic World – had similar themes, with headlines like “Aligarh Muslim University students back Hamas attack” and “AMU students carried out march in support of Hamas”.
