Shekhar Suman has demanded the cancellation of Zee News’ licence after the pro-BJP TV channel ran a news report claiming that the veteran actor’s son Adhyayan Suman had ended his life by suicide. Suman also thanked Republic TV founder Arnab Goswami, who had reportedly called the actor to sympathise with his family on the trauma caused by the fake news of Adhyayan’s death.
Zee News stooped to a new low by declaring Adhyayan Suman dead by claiming that he had committed suicide evoked an angry reaction from Adhyayan, who himself is an actor. He tweeted, “How on earth could @ZeeNews write that I have committed suicide !?!! What the hell you sick people ! You have given grief to my family by doing this and you will pay for this ! People please help me spread this the word the world needs to see how sick they can be for trps !”

Shekhar Suman demanded the cancellation of Zee News’ licence. He wrote, “Their license wd be canceled.The PM has clearly stated that ppl behind fake news that can cause extensive damage in many ways shld be punished.”
Some random apology by one of @ZeeNews regular journalists is not accepatable for such an unpardonable act.The bosses shld have some shame and own up to their faux-pas which is deplorable.Imagine if they had done the same to any of the political big-wigs.

The development drew widespread condemnation for Zee News from netizens, who demanded strict action against the media group.

RSS has global network of over 2,500 groups for money laundering: Priyank Kharge
Bengaluru: Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge has alleged involvement of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in a money transfer network at global level.
Posting his allegation on his personal ‘X’ account on Saturday morning, Kharge said that he was referring to an issue that had not been dealt with decisively by Indian media houses.
“Here is a crucial story that the Indian media will never touch,” the minister has said, and clarified, “This so-called “body of individuals” has built a global network of over 2,500 affiliated organisations. Through these fronts, the RSS collects “guru dakshina” to fuel its divisive agenda. (sic)”
Kharge has further alleged, “The world’s largest NGO is running amok, laundering money and evading accountability.”
The minister added, “Here is a map of their organisational architecture of their “Vichar Parivaar.” https://rssproject.caravanmagazine.in / @thecaravanindia”
