Supreme Court says journalistic freedom is not absolute, cannot allow to ‘say that Muslims are infiltrating civil services’, adds the channel ‘is doing a disservice to the nation’.
The petitioners say accusations of dual loyalties towards members of any faith — and suggestions of treachery by virtue of belonging to that faith — constitute hate speech.
Jamia UPSC centre is one of five facilities set up by govt between 2009 and 2010 to provide underprivileged communities with free residential coaching for the civil services.
The petition, which was sent to seven chief ministers Friday, was signed by several well-known personalities like Anurag Kashyap, Sagarika Ghose and Aakar Patel, among others.
Civil servants condemn Sudarshan News Editor-in-Chief Suresh Chavhanke after he posts teaser video of report, to be aired Friday, that claims ‘infiltration of Muslims’ in the services.
Suresh Chavhanke tweeted a video where he is seen pledging against purchases from those who 'killed our brothers'. They should not be given jobs either, he adds.

Problem is sick minds. Bad upbringing, evil values instilled in formative years that lead to Chavhanke and his ilk turning out to be the ignorant, bigoted people they are. Will do anything to make money. The SC is right to stop them in their tracks before they make Indian society even more sick than it already is. I don’t see what is wrong with any group coaching its young people to legitimately do well in exams and gain entry to good jobs…. we want an inclusive society based on merit. Chavhanke and his ilk get ahead by cheating and other dubious means and can’t bear seeing those unlike them get ahead legitimately.
I have seen drama of Sudarshan Channel’s chief editor 2-3 years ago where he used to speak against MP Owaisi and putting horn on his head, fire coming out of MP’s mouth and other such comic activities by Channel. I have blocked a number of sick channels whose main motive is to damage our society and increase TRP. It is also strange that people actually want to see such hateful program and defend such program. It also shows that such agendas run by few channels have got success upto some extent.
In stead of going into all kinds of arguments, can the SC not come up with clear lines as to what cannot be aired or expressed openly as it would fall within the reasonable restrictions to free speech.
Stop any reference to a religion in public even by naming an organization with relation to a religion. Stop the spill over on streets of crowds from any religious place. Just as the Word NERGO cannot be used in US there must be a ban on use of any religion or religious word in public.
Draw the lines once and for all as the unalterable basic structure of the constitution.
you Can only go against Hindus, not against Muslims, because India is a secular country, you can promote shows about Hindu Terrorism and saffron terrorism, but nothing against Islam.
The idiocy of this entire thing is unbelievable. Whether they air the show or not, the message is out. By this kind of publicity, everyone knows and is now curious. Instead of rebutting it, the liberal idiots have now fueled it with gasoline. Now Supreme court has been asked to interpret journalistic freedom. What is ok to say and publish and what is not? This is a bad precedent. The message is now out in the public. Given social media, this will be disseminated not over the TV channels but via other media. These campaigns are dealt with only by an opposing vigorous campaign.
The other issue that is bothersome is this notion that Muslims are a threat. This is not a BJP thing. They may be adding to the already existing bias and exploiting it. It is the larger liberal cabal that needs to deal with this. Until they believe that this Muslim suspicion is real and dissociate it from the BJP, they will not be able to set the boat right.
The other question is, how much of this blame is on the Muslim Community? This is something for the community to think and figure out how to change this image.
Excellent judgment, these stupid tabloid Channels are out to wreck the pluralistic culture of India It should have bee stopped by Information and Broadcasting ministry
अगर इस तरह हमारे देश मे हो रहा है तो इसे रोकना चाहिये ।

sudarshan is correct. I support sudarshan for exposing the entire matter.

Ha!! Ha!! What a joke are these courts!!

I disagree with SC, freedom of speech should be respected. Sudarshan should upload it on online platforms.
The share of muslims have certainly raised in UPSC exams why don’t you do a story on it
The channel should be banned
