In this clip, journalists Rajdeep Sardesai, Saurabh Dwivedi, and Rahul Srivastava are seen on stage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the discussion, Rajdeep Sardesai states, &#8220;Be it in Mumbai in 92-93 or Muzaffarnagar in 2012, whenever there are riots, we always receive stories of rapes and gang rapes.&#8221; At this point, journalist Rahul Srivastava interrupts, questioning why Sardesai specifically mentioned Uttar Pradesh and not West Bengal, where a similar incident had recently occurred. Sardesai responds by clarifying that his mention of Uttar Pradesh was in the context of women&#8217;s participation. He further adds, &#8220;By the way, West Bengal is the only state in the country with a woman Chief Minister at the moment.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The video clip has been widely shared, with several social media users slamming Sardesai. Kanchan Gupta, senior advisor of the ministry of information and broadcasting, shared the clip, claiming that Rajdeep Sardesai had dismissed the recent rape and murder of a doctor at a government hospital in Kolkata.

This search led us to a longer version of the program, which was uploaded on The Lallantop\u2019s YouTube channel. The viral clip can be found at the 2:36:37 mark of the video which was uploaded on August 5, 2023. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, it is clear that the video is over a year old and hence the claims that Sardesai refused to acknowledge the August 9 R G Kar rape and murder in Kolkata are false.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pp5yyrew94U?si=9iZK_I6mPkRMB_Vt]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When examining the broader context of the viral video, two key points emerged<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1. The video has been edited and Sardesai&#8217;s remarks are being shared out of context<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A few seconds after the viral part of the video, Rajdeep Sardesai elaborates that during political or mass violence, women often become soft targets as a demonstration of power by male-dominated systems. Sardesai further mentions that even in Bengal, where the chief minister is a woman, local control is still largely held by men, illustrating that gender dynamics are entrenched regardless of leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Journalist Rahul Shrivastava misinterpreted what Rajdeep Sardesai said<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Upon reviewing the earlier part of the clip, it becomes clear that Rahul Srivastava misinterpreted Rajdeep Sardesai&#8217;s comments. Sardesai\u2019s earlier remarks did not specifically target Uttar Pradesh but rather referred to North India as a whole, which includes multiple states. His discussion was centred around the broader issue of women becoming soft targets in violent incidents, particularly in North India, due to the unequal representation of women in public spaces. However, this context was not fully addressed by Srivastava\u2019s question, leading to a misunderstanding that was further amplified by the edited viral clip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In summary, an old and incomplete video has been circulated out of context with the false claim that Rajdeep Sardesai recently dismissed the rape and murder of a woman doctor in Kolkata\u2019s R G Kar Hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A clip from The Lallantop&#8217;s Neta Nagri program is currently viral on social media.
