A journalist was allegedly heckled by supporters of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur on Thursday for purportedly asking a question on Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
In a viral footage, the journalist, Gyanendra Tiwari from ABP news, is heard accusing the BJP supporters of hooliganism, even hinting that there was an attempt to assault him.
The clip shows that during a debate on MP elections, a BJP supporter is telling Mr. Tiwari that as an anchor, he cannot say such things. “You cannot take the Chief Minister’s name,” he is told. The journalist responds by saying, “Why can’t I take the Chief Minister’s name? You are indulging in hooliganism on camera. You are a BJP supporter and doing hooliganism during live programme.”
