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.

V.D. Satheesan elected as new Chief Minister of Kerala
Thiruvananthapuram (PTI): Celebrations erupted across Kerala on Thursday after V D Satheesan was selected by the Congress High Command as the next Chief Minister of the state.
Satheesan was at the Contonment House in Thiruvananthapuram, the official residence of the Leader of the Opposition, when AICC leaders announced it in New Delhi.
Soon after the announcement, jubilant Satheesan supporters burst firecrackers and distributed sweets in several parts of the state.
Paravur in Ernakulam district, the Assembly constituency he has represented since 2001, witnessed large-scale celebrations.
Satheesan was widely seen as the frontrunner for the post, with UDF allies also backing his candidature during the selection process.
As the Leader of the Opposition in the outgoing Assembly, he led the UDF both inside and outside the House.
Apart from Satheesan, senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala and Congress MP K C Venugopal were also considered for the post.
