Right wing religious outfit ransacks NDTV’s office in Ahmedabad
MUMBAI: Right wing religious outfit called Hindu Samrajya Sena ransacked NDTV’s office in Ahmedabad to protest against the news channels running a SMS poll on M F Husain as a contender of Bharat Ratna.
A group of 15-20 people destroyed the office property and assaulted one of the staff members. The group broke furniture, destroyed studio equipment and even smashed the air-conditioners and other electrical fittings.
The attackers plastered NDTV’s office with poster and banners describing the channel as traitors and demanded an apology.
Meanwhile Congress condemned the attack on NDTV’s office in Ahmedabad by a right wing Hindu outfit, deploring the “climate of intolerance” and alleged “ultimately this is what fascism all about”.
