Prime Time: Are Media Houses Suppressing News About Controversial Remarks By BJP Leaders?
 6 Jun 2022 Prime Time With Ravish Kumar - June 6, 2022: Ravish Kumar takes a look at the reporting by leading newspapers about the controversial remarks by two BJP leaders about Prophet Mohammad. Several Indian ambassadors in the Gulf region were summoned in a single day by the foreign ministries in their host countries while others issued strong statements condemning the remarks. As Qatar and Kuwait summoned the envoys in Doha and Kuwait City respectively, the Taliban regime in Afghanistan condemned the comments by BJP's Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal. Saudi Arabia and Bahrain too have reacted to the comments.

 Why allow them to be called Fringe!

Wasnt there calls within India for control of hate speec, extreme speehes or calls to Govt to control such elements...

Apr 23 2022 note from  I & B Ministry asking for caution..

Asli fringe kaun? Look who’s keeping Nupur Sharma company in BJP’s ‘fringe’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6wcAVcdhjg Jun 7, 2022

After now-former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma’s controversial comments against Prophet Muhammad drew backlash from several countries, India’s governing party suspended her, while the foreign ministry dismissed her views as “fringe”. If her Muslim-baiting remarks make Nupur “fringe”, how should we describe these BJP leaders who have publicly expressed similar views? As a, ahem, Times Now panellist once told a BJP spokesperson, “Every party has a fringe, your party is the fringe.”
