Attacks – Journalists

Controversy erupted on Wednesday over Congress workers allegedly roughing up an ‘India News’ journalist at Raebareli on Tuesday and the manner in which Rahul Gandhi quizzed him. The TV channel released a video where Rahul is seen asking the TV journalist, Shiv Prasad Yadav, his name, and also that of the owner of the channel.

Rahul is then heard telling Congress workers on the mic not to assault him (journalist) and asking him the name of the owner of his TV channel. “Kya wo OBC hai? Nahin. Kya wo Dalit hai? Nahin (Is he OBC? No. Is he Dalit? No),” Rahul had said.
