There is a continuous debate on TV channels regarding the incident of violence in many cities including Udaipur. In this, many spokespersons of various parties and organizations have been accusing the anchors of the channels of supporting the ruling party and asking questions to the opposition. Congress spokesperson Ragini Nayak got into an argument with anchor Chitra Tripathi on this issue on Aaj Tak news channel.
Anchor Chitra Tripathi asked a question to Congress spokesperson Ragini Nayak about Ajmer and Udaipur of Rajasthan, where she has a government and said that why the government is not taking action on Khadim Salman Chishti of Ajmer Dargah. On this, Ragini Nayak alleged that Anchor Chitra Tripathi is raising personal questions against the Congress party by not asking questions on the terror connection to PM Modi. He says that the anchor has taken the contract to give cover fire to the BJP.
Chitra Tripathi is also doing a job for a living. The questions in his mind are not his but the channel and owner’s. Channels are calling whatever they want from this innocent journalist.

On this, Anchor Chitra Tripathi got upset. He said that “A criminal who is publicly threatening to kill Nupur Sharma. You said everything except him. You are openly trying to save a criminal.” After this, he muted Ragini Nayak’s voice down on the channel.
Said that “this method will not work. Ragini Nayakji has adopted this way of seeing every anchor through the same glasses, stop it. And speaking on the topic on which you have been called, and saying that there will be arrest, investigation is going on, then at least there would have been hope.
He said, “A person is publicly threatening in your state and instead of arresting him, you are asking the anchor to ask the question in front of the country. I will not ask, I will ask whatever question is in my mind.
Ragini Nayak later tweeted that “I have repeatedly said – FIR has been registered against Salman Chishti. Arrest can still happen today. Anchor Sahiba had scum in her mind or ears that she didn’t even hear to ask Modi ji a question on terrorist connection, then muted me and said, ‘No, you tell me, is this not a contract to give cover fire to BJP?
