The BJP has managed to emerge as a strong force in these elections. WEST BENGAL, ASSAM, TAMIL NADU, PUDUCHERRY, KERALA EXIT POLL This report will be updated if we receive a response.While states like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry voted in single-phase, Assam voted in three phases and West Bengal voted in eight phases. Newslaundry reached out to Aaj Tak’s corporate communications team to ask whether the channel plans to air an apology on April 23. He added that the NBSA should have imposed a “greater fine” on Aaj Tak and said: “How to make them adhere to this order: that should be looked into.” Navlakha said he might challenge the NBSA’s order before the Delhi High Court. “If they don’t adhere to it again, then what is the course of action? The NBSA is a powerless body, a body that can pass orders but there is no compulsion made by them on any of their members.” “The NBSA has made this order before and Aaj Tak did not adhere to it,” he pointed out. Nilesh Navlakha, who had filed the complaint against Aaj Tak, told Newslaundry that he doesn’t know whether Aaj Tak will comply with the order this time around, or what course of action the NBSA will take should Aaj Tak flout its order. It added that “additional and new pleadings and submissions” cannot be raised while “seeking a review/recall of an order”. The contentions raised in the reply filed by the broadcaster and in the oral submissions were taken into consideration by NBSA before the order was passed.” Therefore, there was no occasion for NBSA to consider such contentions. The organisation said: “NBSA noted that the contentions raised by the broadcaster in its application for review/recall were available to the broadcaster when it filed its reply to the complaint, and no such averments/contentions were made either in the response filed by the broadcaster or in the submissions made during the hearing. Over five months later, the NBSA finally gave its response: that Aaj Tak’s plea for recall would not be considered and it needed to apologise. The NBSA also prescribed the text for the apology: Boom confirmed that the tweets were fake and Aaj Tak later took down its report.Īs a result, Aaj Tak was directed to air an apology on October 27, as well as paying a fine of Rs 1 lakh. The tweets were purportedly Rajput’s “last words” on Twitter before his death, and had been widely shared by media houses, including Aaj Tak. The “manufactured tweets” had been pointed out by fact-checking website Boomon June 17, 2020. The decision was taken after the NBSA scrutinised multiple complaints over the programmes.Īaj Tak was specifically pulled up for “manufacturing tweets”, airing pictures of Rajput’s body, barging into the house of Rajput’s father and “relentlessly” questioning him, and using the headline “ Aise kaise hit wicket ho gaye Sushant?”.
AAJ TAK LIVE TV TV
On October 6 last year, the NBSA directed Aaj Tak, Zee News, India TV and News24 to air apologies in the context of specific programmes on Rajput’s death. The question is, of course, whether Aaj Tak will comply. There was “no substance” in Aaj Tak’s appeal for a review, the association said.
Yesterday, the News Broadcasting Standards Authority reaffirmed its order passed last October that news channel Aaj Tak must air an apology for its coverage of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.ĭismissing the channel’s application that the direction be reviewed, the NBSA told Aaj Tak to air its apology on April 23 at 8 pm.
