Pak flag representation controversy: FIR filed against Suvarna News and anchor Ajit Hanumakkanavar
Bengaluru: An FIR has been lodged against Suvarna News and anchor Ajit Hanumakkanavar regarding the Pakistan flag representation controversy at the Bengaluru High Grounds police station. The accused has been booked under Section 505(2) of the Indian Penal Code for creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes.
Suvarna News was under scrutiny on social media and a complaint was also filed by one Tanveer Ahmed, for using the Pakistani flag to represent India's Muslim population during a recent discussion programme. The FIR has been lodged following this complaint.
The incident occurred during a discussion hosted by Ajit Hanumakkanavar on the population report released by the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council. Using the Indian flag to signify the Hindu population and the Pakistani flag for the Muslim population sparked immediate controversy.
The Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council's report, which highlighted a decline in the Hindu population and a significant increase in the Muslim population amidst the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, has fueled heated debates across the nation. The Population Foundation of India (PFI) had later raised concerns over misrepresentation of the numbers by the media from the report to create a divide among the communities on the matter.
