I.N.D.I.A. Didn’t Ban Anchors, Rejects Hate Agenda,” Pawan Khera Clarifies:
In response to criticism from BRS MLC K. Kavitha, Pawan Khera, Chairman of the AICC Media and Publicity Department, advised her to focus on the unfulfilled promises of the BRS government and concentrate on her own electoral seat for the upcoming assembly elections. During the CWC (Congress Working Committee) meeting held in Hyderabad, Khera stated, “After the Bharat Jodo yatra, the BJP appears to be confused as discussing people’s issues is not within their purview. This is beyond their scope.
The agenda will now be determined by the people rather than from Nagpur. Modi and Shah are now compelled to address these issues.” He also mentioned that previously, the BJP would often raise imaginary controversies, but the yatra addressed the media’s concerns that Congress was not visible on the streets. He highlighted the recent historic election in which Mallikarjun Kharge was elected president, underscoring the party’s commitment to democratic processes. Regarding the party’s stance on certain anchors, Khera clarified, “We have not banned any anchors. We simply refuse to engage with the hate agenda they promote.
They have the freedom to spread hatred, and if they choose to change their approach, we are open to cooperating with them again. This decision is supported by all the parties in the INDIA alliance.” Pawan Khera criticized the BJP for capitalizing on the sacrifices of soldiers while absolving China of its territorial encroachments.
He pointed out that army veterans support their stance and highlighted remarks by Mohan Bhagwat, acknowledging discrimination in Sanatan Dharma for two millennia. Pawan Khera also addressed the issue of “one nation, one poll,” suggesting that it emerged in response to revelations about Adani. He urged the media to scrutinize whether the BJP introduces new agendas when there are developments related to Chinese incursions or Jay Shah’s involvement in specific matters.
