Mehta’s report, at any rate, is tame by Zee News’s standards. (Indeed it pales in comparison to shows like Tal Thok Ke Extra Strong that stated quite simply that West Bengal was becoming like “Pakistan for Hindus”.) Sure, it can be critiqued for being one-sided, but since when has that become grounds for legal action? In the absence of any real bases for the West Bengal Police’s FIR, Chaudhary’s concern that the state government is going after Zee News is very real and deserves attention, irrespective of how problematic the channel’s reportage has been in the past.
