Naveen Jindal, a Congress member of Parliament and chairman of Jindal Steel & Power Ltd, on Tuesday filed a complaint against Zee News to the Election Commission
(EC).
Jindal has stated violation of the code of conduct by Zee News,
Zee Business and Zee News UP Channels by broadcasting "false,
manipulated and misleading news items" about him since he was contesting
from the Kurukshetra constituency of Haryana.
The complaint lists down specific news items broadcast by the channels. "It is pertinent to mention here that Section 125 of Representation of the People Act 1951 under the heading 'Electoral Offences' specifically mentions "any person who in connection with an election under this Act promotes or attempts to promote on grounds of religion, race, caste, community or language, feelings of enmity or hatred, between different classes of the citizens of India shall be punishable, with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both"."
In his complaint, Jindal requested the EC to restrain Zee News and its associate channels from airing the "false, defamatory and misleading news items" against him and his company.
