Many of the journalists and news anchors of these channels made fabricated and hyperbolic statements intending to incite the audiences," added the advisory.Whereas with regard to the recent incident in North-West Delhi, the Ministry flagged issues like provocative headlines and videos of violence that may incite communal hatred among the communities and disrupt peace and law and order"Disrupting the ongoing investigation process by playing scandalous and unverified CCTV footage, showing footage of a specific community thus aggravating the communal tensions, fabricated headlines sensationalising and giving communal colours to the actions of authority," are among some of the issues raised by the government over the coverage of North-West Delhi incidents.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
