Barkha Dutt conducted a debate in NDTV Studio in which Imam Bukhari openly Called @AzmiShabana<\/a> a Prostitute in front of Owaisi & Farooq Sheikh.
\nNo one Vomited.

\u2014 Rishi Bagree \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf3 (@rishibagree) September 11, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the video clip, Imam Bukhari can be heard saying that he does not wish to respond to ‘dancers’ and ‘tawaifs (prostitutes)’, in a reference to Shabana Azmi. Bagree posted this message along with the video on September 11, and it has garnered more than 5700 retweets so far. This is not the first time that Bagree has tweeted this video with his claim that there was no outrage over Bukhari’s words.<\/p>\n

In Tolerant India , Imam Bukhari abused Shabana Azmi, Called her prostitute
\nBut likes of #AamirKhan<\/a> never protestedhttps:\/\/t.co\/cIv6FjdZG0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Rishi Bagree \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf3 (@rishibagree) November 24, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The above tweet is of November 24, 2015. Bagree had tweeted the same<\/a> a few days before that as well, on November 7.<\/p>\n

Mischievous portrayal\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The debate aired on NDTV<\/em> is of the year 2001. Rishi Bagree’s claim that ‘no one vomited’ and that there was a lack of outrage over the Imam’s words is simply not true. Shabana Azmi has tweeted on September 15, 2018 that both houses of Parliament had unanimously passed a resolution<\/a> condemning Imam Bukhari for his comment. Moreover, Barkha Dutt who had hosted the show too has tweeted in response to Azmi saying that Bukhari had been asked to leave the show after he refused to retract or apologise.<\/p>\n

\n

And I threw him out of the show when he refused to retract or apologize. Such fake news peddlers these fools are<\/p>\n

Claim debunked by Dutt in 2015<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Moreover, Shabana Azmi had spoken out against Bukhari when she had responded to Bagree’s tweet of November 2015. Barkha Dutt had corrected Bagree by responding in the same thread that Bukhari was told he could not continue on the show unless and until he apologised.<\/p>\n

\n

@AzmiShabana<\/a> agree and I shut him down and said he couldnt continue on show till he apologized @rishibagree<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 barkha dutt (@BDUTT) November 7, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is the link<\/a> to the full video of the debate published on the NDTV<\/em> website. It can be seen and heard from 07:36 to 8:25 that following Imam Bukhari’s comment, Barkha Dutt intervenes and seeks an apology from him.<\/p>\n

Rishi Bagree is a repeat offender who has been caught spreading misinformation and disinformation on multiple occasions. A 17-year old incident which had been addressed at the time was once again raked up simply to target those who hold dissenting political and ideological views. This is despite the fact that Bagree had been corrected earlier in 2015, yet chose to share the video and the false claim again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
