NOIDA: Congress party launched massive protests against Zee News for airing a “doctored” video clip featuring former party president Rahul Gandhi, while incorrectly linking it to the Udaipur killing.
Party held demonstrations outside the Zee Group offices in Noida and Mumbai even as the group apologised.
Demonstrators raised slogans against the group, accusing it of spreading falsehood, biased reporting against the grand old party and trying to malign the image of Rahul Gandhi.
Party officials also burnt effigies and clashed with cops who tried to stop them from entering into the media office.
“This media outfit has tainted journalism in this country,” the Congress alleged.
Party’s women wings too joined the protest later during the day.
Meanwhile, Srinivas, Indian Youth Congress (IYC) chief tore into Zee group on Twitter with a pun, saying it was “Chee News”
In an attempt to tarnish the image of our leader Shri @RahulGandhi Ji, 'Chee News' aired a doctored video portraying him in a bad light.

1. @RahulGandhi की केरल में अपने दफ़्तर पर SFI कार्यकर्ताओं द्वारा हमला करने वालों को माफ़ करने की बात को Zee News उदयपुर हत्याकांड के दोषियों को माफ़ी के रुप में दिखाता है
2. इस फ़ेक न्यूज़ को भाजपा नेता सोशल मीडिया पर फैला रहे हैं
3. क़ानूनी कार्यवाही होगी, पर पहले सच देखिए pic.twitter.com/g3ZsXyu001
