A video report, which was unknowingly aired by Jamaat-e-Islami-backed Malayalam news channel ‘Media One’, has exposed the real perpetrators of Delhi riots. In a news bulletin this morning, ‘Media One’ telecasted footage from Muslim dominated Jafrabad in North East Delhi, the epicentre of the on-going anti-CAA riots, that showed the media team, including a reporter and cameraman, begging to a Muslim mob to spare them!
The Muslim mob tried to manhandle the reporters and snatch their video camera and mics. When the media team claimed they were Muslims, the mob asked them to present the ID proof! In the video, the media persons can be seen crying aloud to the frenzied mob: “We are Muslims. We are from Kerala. We can show you our ID proof.” After confirming their religious identity, the leaders of the group intervened to pacify the mob.
In the same bulletin, a reporter from Delhi also stated on the record that ‘earlier, when such incidents took place, violent mobs used to spare them if they come to know ‘they are from South’. Even after facing heat from the rioters, the Jamaat-e-Islami-sponsored channel continues to extend its support to the anti-CAA rioters.
