Seems that law is finally catching up with the anti-India, anti-Hindu, fake news peddling Wall Street Journal. Police complaints have been filed against WSJ with Delhi Police and & Maharashtra Police for “defaming particular religion & spreading communal tension” with respect to alleged misreporting on Delhi Violence and murder of IB official Ankit Sharma, reports Prasar Bharati.
Legal Rights Observatory (LRO) has filed a cyber complaint with the Delhi Police and the Maharashtra Police against WSJ for spreading fake news and to spread communal tensions. The WSJ had quoted Ankit’s brother Ankur as having said that Ankit was killed by amob chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’. Ankur has denied saying so to any news paper let alone WSJ which claimed that it was told over a telephonic interview. WSJ was exposed and caught lying when every news source and Ankit’s brother too denied making any such statements.
Ankur Sharma had also spoken to Prasar Bharati. In the conversation with PBNS, Ankur Sharma, Brother of killed IB official discredited WSJ report, saying “I never gave such a statement to Wall Street Journal. This is a ploy to defame my brother and my family. Wall Street Journal is lying.”
Organiser too had reported how WSJ was caught lying on Ankit’s brutal murder by Islamists. All proofs and eye-wintess accounts had narrated how Ankit was dragged by a Muslim mob inside the building belonging to AAP leader Tahir Hussain. Yet the WSJ chose to neglect them and published their own version. The agenda of WSJ to defame Hindus and change the narrative of the riots was out in the open.
LRO has also said that Western media is shamelessly cooking stories about Delhi Riots and blaming Hindus for Delhi Violence portraying Muslims as victims, when infact they were the aggressors. LRO had requested that WSJ South Asia Deputy Bureau Chief Eric Bellman to immediately withdraw the said report and pay monetary compensation to PMO India funds and apologize for the false report. LRO had also warned that in case of failing to do so, it would seek his deportation from India for spreading lies and trying to add fuel to the fire in the country.
Ever since the Delhi riots broke out, Left and Congress-affiliated media are busy spinning fake and misleading stories  about the cause of the riots and incidents related to the violence.
