Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (JD)
Udupi, Oct 29: A message has been doing the rounds on social media channels calling for the boycott of news media website Daijiworld. The rumour on social media was that the 'Marwari Hathao' campaign was run by Daijiworld.
However, Daijiworld clarified that it did not initiate any such campaign.
Meanwhile, concerning the matter, the media house also filed a complaint at the cybercrime police station in Udupi.
The viral message shared on social media read:
"#BoycottDaijiworld. Daijiworld is trying to misguide the educated people of Udupi. Daijiworld in all its programs in one or the other way is taking an anti-Hindu stance. Now, Daijiworld has yet again displayed its anti-Hindu attitude by creating 'Marwadi Hathao, Udupi Bachao' campaign.
Consumer court will handle the disputes related scams in businesses. Let us fight according to the law, rather than trying to banish a community. Does Daijiworld have the nerve to boycott those who tried to create a nuisance by supporting CAA, NRC and those responsible in the DJ Halli violence?
According to the Indian Constitution and its fundamental rights threatening any person is considered a criminal offence. So it is necessary to submit a complaint against Daijiworld with Prasar Bharathi or the Central government.
Protect Ram bhakt Marwadis and boycott anti-Hindu Daijiworld. Let us showcase the strength of the Hindu community.
From now, let us start #boycottDaijiworld campaign and prove the power of the Hindu community.
Clarification from Sharan Pumpwell
Bajrang Dal activist Sharan Pumpwell under whose name the message was circulated was contacted by Daijiworld, clarifying on the matter, he said, "The issue has come to our notice as well. We have not circulated any such message. My name is being misused. Our organization respects every media organization and reporters. I will submit my statement at the police station to prove my innocence. I will visit the Mangaluru police commissioner and file a complaint. The incident clearly shows that some miscreants are intentionally trying to defame me and Daijiworld, I urge the VHP members to not circulate the post and defame the media house."
