Islamists surrounded journalist Chitra Tripathi of ABP news when she traveled to Pahalgam, J&K, to cover the recent terrorist attack on Hindu visitors. A video of the incident, which showed the journalist encircled by a group of irate villagers, went viral on social media. The mob ignored Tripathi's numerous attempts to explain that she was there to carry out her duties and persisted in taunting her.
What's in the Viral Video?
Chitra Tripathi tries to explain to the local women in the video that she is only there for her job, but she is silenced by the group of people behind her. "I am a journalist, but you are mistreating me—this is really wrong," she continues. Kill me if that's what you want to do."
Following this, some members of the crowd began yelling at Tripathi and yelling "Godi media Hai-Hai" in a loud voice. Some Muslim young people could also be seen shouting "Gulistan hum sharminda hain tere katil zinda hain" in the video. In addition, a voice from kashmir said, "Hindu Muslim bhai-bhai was also heard being yelled."
‘This is the reality of Kashmir’
Assam minister ashok Singhal also posted the video on social media. "Chitra Tripathi was on the verge of being lynched," he wrote. For kashmir and Kashmiriyat, this is the reality. You cannot negotiate peace with those whose survival depends on your annihilation.
Dare to raise slogans of ‘Down with Pakistan’
The video has been shared on social media by senior journalist ashok Srivastava. He wrote on X, "In less than 24 hours, the masks have come off! Yesterday, Hindus were killed after asking their names and knowing their religion. Today, journalists who were reporting on the targeting of Hindus in srinagar were targeted by locals. women journalists of Republic tv and ABP were surrounded and hooted at, and slogans of ‘Godi media Hai Hai’ were raised."
