Statement by Sudhanva Deshpande, actor and author, on the disinformation campaign against him and Sharmistha Saha by Times Now 9 November 2023

Times Now has run a malicious disinformation campaign against me and Prof. Sharmistha Saha of IIT-Bombay on its channel on November 8. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci9rsqamKpw Hamas Terror Whitewashed? Row Over IIT Bombay Event)

I had been asked by Prof. Saha to introduce a 2004 documentary film, ‘Arna’s Children’, made by Juliano Mer Khamis, an Israeli Jewish filmmaker, actor and theatre director. One of the characters in the film is Zakaria Zubeidi. My talk was part of a scheduled class on November 6.

Zakaria Zubeidi is a former military commander of the armed wing of Fatah, the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades. Fatah is the political party founded by Yasser Arafat. When I met Zubeidi in Palestine in 2015, he had given up arms and was advocating cultural resistance. He had highlighted the value of culture in the Palestinian freedom struggle. He co-founded The Freedom Theatre in the West Bank to fulfil his vision. I had referred to Zubeidi as a ‘visionary’, because in his conversation with me, he envisaged a future where the entire territory of historic Palestine would be a single nation, in which ALL its citizens — Arabs, Jews, Christians, and others — would have equal rights.

In a series of bulletins titled ‘Row Over IIT Bombay Event’, the TV channel referred to Zubeidi as a Hamas terrorist and called me a ‘Hamas apologist’. The channel claimed that my online talk to the IIT-B students on November 6 ‘whitewashes’ the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel, and that I had ‘glorified a Hamas terrorist’.

The bulletins run by Times Now were based on a video recorded by a student of IIT-B, who was present for my talk. To set the record straight:
I said nothing that glorified Hamas. In fact, I did not even mention Hamas in my talk. Zakaria Zubeidi was NEVER a member of Hamas, as claimed on air by Times Now. By flashing lies on its screen – ‘Hamas Apologists Get Stage’ and ‘Blind to Hamas Terror’ – Times Now has defamed me and Prof. Sharmistha Saha on the channel on November 8.

The film ‘Arna’s Children’ shows the work of a theatre for children established by Arna Mer, Juliano’s mother, and an Israeli Jewish person herself. Juliano Mer Khamis was assassinated outside The Freedom Theatre in 2011. Juliano had previously served in the Israeli army.

Fatah is currently led by Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority. Arafat’s leadership and the Palestinian freedom struggle have historically been recognised by India. In 1974, India became the first Non-Arab State to recognise the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) led by Arafat as the sole and legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.

The Government of India clarified its position as recently as October 12, 2023, affirming, ‘Our policy has been longstanding and consistent. India has always advocated the resumption of direct negotiations towards establishing a sovereign, independent and viable state of Palestine.’

Despite these facts, Times Now has been playing up my statement, ‘The Palestinian struggle is a freedom struggle…’ to fuel its heavily slanted reportage in favour of Israel and the genocide and ethnic cleansing being perpetrated on Palestinians — over 10,000 people killed since October 7, including over 4,000 children, and two-thirds of Gaza’s 2.2 million inhabitants displaced. The Israeli military campaign has targeted hospitals and ambulances, killed journalists, shut down water, electricity and the Internet, and severely curtailed humanitarian aid.

Times Now has also twisted my observations that ‘there has been no freedom struggle in the history of the world, in the history of colonialism, that has been entirely 100 per cent non-violent’. Ignoring this historical fact, Times Now effectively denies revolutionaries such as Bhagat Singh their glorious role in India’s freedom struggle.

I am not a ‘Hamas apologist’. Times Now is whitewashing genocide and ethnic cleansing.

DIGITAL PATRAKAR DEFENCE CLINIC - LEGAL ADVICE, ASSISTANCE, AND REPRESENTATION TO INDIAN JOURNALISTS. PRO BONO. https://patrakardefence.in/

https://patrakardefence.in/blog/dpdc-practical-guide-series-rtis-3/ https://patrakardefence.in/blog/dpdc-practical-guide-series-rtis-3/  it is important to conduct thorough independent research on the subject at hand and to ask detailed, precise questions to limit the ability of the Public Information Officer (PIO) to misunderstand or refuse to answer.

PROTECTION OF SOURCES FOR JOURNALISTS    https://patrakardefence.in/blog/protection-of-source-for-journalists/  India does not have any comprehensive law that protects journalists from being made to reveal their sources in legal proceedings. Some laws offer protection to sources in specific contexts. The 93rd and 185th Reports of the Law Commission of India recommended that journalistic privilege, subject to reasonable restrictions, should be codified into law. There has been no development on this, since, unfortunately.

Supreme Court directs Central Government to reply to petition seeking comprehensive regulation of search & seizure powers for electronic devices    https://internetfreedom.in/supreme-court-directs-central-government-to-reply-to-petition-seeking-comprehensive-regulation-of-search-seizure-powers-for-electronic-devices/ existing laws do not regulate the police’s power to search or seize electronic devices. The lack of regulation enables the police to engage in dubious practices such as mandating individuals, with or without reasonable suspicion, to grant access to mobile devices; making clones of those devices; and sharing the information they obtain with third parties or governmental agencies. These practices violate the right to privacy and the constitutional guarantee against self-incrimination.

Since mobile devices are essentially an extension of ourselves, the lack of regulation on how they should be searched has enabled police to access troves of anyone’s personal information to the detriment of their right to privacy.

Mahua Moitra Withdraws Defamation Case Against Media | Marya Shakil | The Last Word  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNHdLvDiTXQ

Thirty-six hours ahead of the second sitting of the Lok Sabha Ethics committee probing the cash-for-query scam, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, in the line of fire, dropped the defamation plea against media houses. Ms Moitra's counsel told the Delhi High Court that the lawsuit would only continue against the BJP and two other defendants - MP Nishikant Dubey and lawyer Jai Anant Dehadrai. Fifteen media houses were made a party to Mahua Moitra's suit. She has also sought relief against X, Google, and YouTube to remove the allegedly defamatory content against her from these platforms. In another U-Turn, the MP said she will appear before the ethics panel on November 2. When the Lok Sabha panel issued the date for her appearance, she had said she wouldn't be available till November 4. From crying foul to withdrawing the defamation plea, what's changed for Mahua Moitra
