Congress sends legal notice to news anchor Sudhir Chaudhry for comparing Rahul Gandhi to robbers
New Delhi: Indian Youth Congress President Srinivas BV has sent a legal notice to News Channel Aaj Tak and its news anchor Sudhir Chaudhry for comparing party leader Rahul Gandhi to robbers.
The legal notice, sent on Sunday, added that the channel’s official Twitter handle had also posted a video of the clip from Sudhir’s show ‘Black and White’ wherein he can be seen comparing Rahul Gandhi with someone who has been accused and caught for an offence of robbery.
“It is submitted that while creating and publishing the said video, you have flagrantly violated journalism norms and ethics by callously publishing the said video that wrongly depicts Mr. Gandhi as someone accused of any offence of robbery,” the legal notice stated.
It also added that the video was published deliberately and maliciously with a mala-fide intent to harm the reputation of Rahul Gandhi at the behest of his political opponent.
The notice has also demanded that the video should be deleted immediately from all the platforms and to telecast an unconditional apology from the channel and to post the same from the Twitter handle as well.
“Failing which we shall be constrained to initiate appropriate legal remedies both civil and criminal entirely at your cost and consequences.” It further added.
Dear @sudhirchaudhary ji.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
