Mainstream journalists have a soft corner for urban naxals and hence they showed no real sympathy for the Doordarshan photojournalist who was killed by Maoists in Chhattisgarh recently, according to filmmaker and author Vivek Agnihotri
In this episode of the video series, filmmaker and author Vivek Agnihotri expresses dismay at the way the heads of the Editors' Guild of India and other known faces of the media shied away from naming Achyutanand Sahu, the Doordarshan photojournalist who was killed by Maoists in Chhattisgarh recently. Did we expect too much, Agnihotri asks, that mainstream journalists would condemn left-wing terrorism? Maybe yes. Because they are sympathisers of urban naxals.
