Sub: Condemn report telecasted on Indian TV regarding H.H. Dr. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS)
Dear sir
-------------------------------------------
The 9:00 PM show on the 6th of April on India TV telecasted the information and report on the re-marriage of Taliban terrorist Baitullah in Waziristan, Afghanistan .
In between this report, pictures of His Holiness Dr. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS) performing his nikah had been inserted amid constant background talk on terrorism. In what regards do you think His Holiness is connected with the terrorists? Do you even have an inkling of who you are talking about?
His Holiness is amongst the only four persons in the world who are awarded with the address of “His Holiness” including the Dalai Lama and the Christian Pope. And His Holiness is also awarded with the title of “Ambassador of Peace” by many major nations of the world.
This is an utter lack of knowledge, information and professional journalism from India TV’s part. If India TV is not aware of such a unique personality, then it is not our fault. India TV is a news channel and it ought to know better. This is certainly not the ethics of journalism way? Or is it?
India TV is now apologizing for the grave error they have committed. But merely a statement on the bottom of the screen with the word “afsos” won’t do. India TV has to take up the responsibility of this severe mistake and this includes all stakeholders of India TV including their chief editor and journalist.
We, the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim Community, demand a full fledge from the concerned reporter and the chief editor of India TV. We demand the apology of your misconduct to be telecast as long and as repeatedly as the error and on the same show and at the same time (prime time), which should grasp the same audience which watched on the evening of 6th April.
We also demand necessary actions to be taken against the reporter for such a grave mistake.
Although the damage has been done, we think this is the only way the reputation of His Holiness Dr. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS) can be mended (albeit only partially).
We sincerely hope that you understand that we are hurt to the depth of our soul and this letter is been written from a crying heart. This is a matter of great insult to our beloved Maula (TUS) and to the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim Community as a whole.
Regards,
MURTAZA

i heard India T.V. is worst news channel in India and they proved this with the lack of information.
we want strong apology from India T.V. for hurting us and try to demolish our peaceful reputation in India and hole world.
Take a admission in Journalism school and finish you studies first
we strictly condemm this rubbish news of india tv which absolutely baseless!
its just that for coming in limelight indiatv has ridiculously given this news..
its absolutely a conspiracy as the photo shown is edited, and not only the reporter but even ROHIT BANSAL
(cheif of india tv) seems to be equaly involved.
a strict action should be taken against all involved in this matter
mike... buddy u should keep quiet when u dont know the topic of discussion.. please refrain from the posts.. we dont want to fight over petty things...
The report is an absolute blunder... this is totally uncalled for. This is not at all any kind of journalism... people rely on news to know th truth around the world.. but by presenting such a stupid news which has no relation on the topic of discussion and the video being shown goes on to show the quality and the level of the channel... we demand an apology...
A most irresponsible and malicious act on the part of India tv. Is this what they call free press? That they can be free from any responsibility and ethics.
One of the better ways to put an end to this type of ignorant journalism is to bring down a huge malpractice, defamation lawsuit again the reporter and IndiaTVnews.
### u Follower! go kiss ur gods feet:)
We atleast expect the TV channel to check the truth behind such reports.We would like to know what was the basis on which this report was shown?It seems the intentions were to deliberately harm the image of Dawoodi Bohra community.We are definitely hurt.But also have the faith that nothing can ruin the reputation of our community.
mike you seem a drunkard and a drug addict, who unfortunately does not know who his father is because your mother has been sleeping with people of your age.

Rajat Sharma,
The 'So Called' Journalist,
India TV
Subject: Need Apology Regarding the use of Photograph of our beloved Aqa Moula Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin TUS in your cheap news article
You are calling yourself journalists? Just look yourself in the mirror, and see for yourself, and first of all, learn the basic ethics of journalism. You have a huge setup and a lot of money, that does not mean that you can telecast any news, without knowing its real source and relevance. You just publish that news item in the name of "Braking News" and think that we Indians are fools over here. Why is it there that only you people know everything in the whole world? It is my suggestion to just go back to basics and learn how to do journalism, or you can just see how the foreign news channel are broadcasting their news feed. you need to learn from them.
Secondly, you need to know in detail about our Moula TUS, what he has done for our country and for our community. He he known as an Ambassador of Peace in the whole world. Now look what you people have done. You have Indirectly linked our community to the anti-social elements, damaging the image of both our Moula TUS and of our community.
Now, what we Dawoodi Bohras all over the world want is that, First of all you should Apologize publicly in every source of media, ie TV, Newspaers and Internet. Secondly, we want to know that from where did you get that photo? there must be some sort of source from where you got that photo. We just want to know that source, thats it. Or, you can just tell who edited this photo. We just want that person's name, from whom you got that photo.
Waiting for your reply

How can our political leaders take this into their stride. Varun Gandhi got jailed for his hate speech against Muslims. This is even worse. This is a conspiracy against the Holiness. India TV should be banned for airing and its reporters and the producers should be sentenced for life.
mike, dude, too much cocaine has numbed your brain!
Rule out it should read:)
Fortunately for us Bohras we have no link w/ so called "terrorists" of Waziristan. In the same vein are all the Hindus the same? Are all Hindus from Gujarat same as the ones from Orissa? Do they all believe in racist policies of Narendra Modi? Ofcourse, not! Similarly the 3rd rated India TV news and Rohit Bansal need to do thorough investigating and fact checking before presenting to millions of viewers.
We cant rule the possibility of involvement:)
I agree,
India TV is known for irresponsible journalism and this action has proved that point.
I would expect them to do some basic research before putting in the name of His Holiness into this.
Is it unethical journalism or pure stupidity on behalf of IndiaTV? Or just mischief?
The actions of India TV have to be strongly condemned. This seems to be a conspiracy to give a bad name to Syedna. India TV has forgotten all principles of Jounalism in the name of prime time television.
I agree that a very strong apology has to be given by India TV in the same show in which they showed Syedna.
The government has to intervene to ensure such things dont happen again. The media should be made accountable. Such incidents show our press in very bad light.

Respected Sir,
The only thing I want to say is if India TV had no clue against His Holliness, neither video or any kind of clipping, then how they dare to show the images only and linked His Holliness with something beyond the lines.
What are the people working in India TV wanted to show or wanted to prove. They do not have brains or they have lost their minds. This is a ridiculous act and cannot be forgiven. The responsible persons have to come forward and apologize publicly to His Holliness in regards to the misconduct done by them.
Any one today can link photos with someone even not known to him/her. This is not difficult and that is what India TV did without any fact or evidence just for making the news spicy and saleable.
We just want to say if you do not have proof, do not do it especially for such a holy person about whose greatness and kindnes you even do not know about.
With Regards,
Quaid, Indore.
I agree that India TV must apologize for this grave mistake they committed. And can anyone post the link to this video or pictures?
I understand that Syedna Muhammad Burhaniddin is not in the best of health lately. The one thing I don’t understand is that why people are flocking onto his father’s grave in Bombay? What for?
To pray for his speedy recovery YOU must pray to ALLAH and nobody else!
I have read news about people going on foot and bicycles to his father’s grave in Bombay which is absurd.
My understanding is you can visit the kabr or grave or mazaar of a person and pray for that person. But to pray to that person for the recovery of another person is not right. This is not what Islam is about!
As correctly mentioned, we, the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim Community, demand an apology from India TV on the same show and at the same time (prime time), which should grasp the same audience which watched on the evening of 6th April. We also demand Strict Action against the reporter.
I totally agree about the false news given by the worst news channel of India which is INDIA TV regarding His Holiness...STRICT ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN
We demand an apology from INDia TV for this kind of news.The media needs to show restraint in showing such kind of news..
