Jahangirpur demolition drive: Aaj Tak anchor Anjana Om Kashyap sits in bulldozer
Asks residents to move away
New Delhi: During the live reporting of the Jahangirpur demolition drive on Wednesday morning, Aaj Tak anchor Anjana Om Kashyap was seen sitting on one of the bulldozers while saying “You are now watching live images from the crane that is going to demolish illegal constructions,” Scroll.in reported.
The anchor attempted to get comments from the residents of the violence-hit area which was being demolished by the civic-body over “illegal encroachments”.
Responding to Kashyap, one of the devasted residents was recorded saying, “My name is Sonu. We are Hindus. We Hindus and Muslims live together. People’s livelihoods are being ruined…”
However, at this point Kashyap took the microphone away from Sonu and said, “We will have to go away, the police are asking us to move.”
Commenting on the behaviour of the journalist during the tense situation, Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair tweeted, “Fourth pillar of Democracy is part of Demolition of “Mera Bharat Mahan”, with the hashtag #StopBulldozingMuslimHouses.

Davangere: Two policemen injured in stone pelting during Ganesha procession
Davangere: Reports state that two groups engaged in stone pelting at each other during Ganesha idol immersion ceremony in Davangere on Thursday. Two police personnel were injured in the incident.
Few days ago, two groups of youth engaged in verbal altercation regarding raising of a flag for Eid Milad celebration. On account of the clashes, police had heightened security for the Ganesha procession. Despite the additional security, stones were pelted at the procession, sources stated. Inspector Gururaj and constable Raghavendra were injured in the incident. The procession continued after the police brought the situation to control. However, the stone pelting resumed once again as the procession surged forwards.
Security has been tightened up in the area and all shops have been closed down by the police. The two police personnel, who were injured in the stone pelting, are undergoing treatment at a hospital.
