Many who were present at the Karnataka Home Minister\u2019s press briefing on Gauri Lankesh’s murder were taken by surprise when a tweet<\/a> by Republic TV<\/em> quoted him as saying “Will probe Maoist link to murder”.<\/em> They were sure the Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy had made no such statement.<\/p>\n

\"Republic:<\/p>\n

The tweet by Republic has the statement in quotes. Anyone reading it would think that these were the exact words or a translation of the exact words of the minister. Two journalists who were present when the Home Minister addressed the journalists tweeted their reaction to the Republic TV\u2019s tweet.<\/p>\n

\n

Certainly didn't hear home minister saying this. https:\/\/t.co\/aob3Ahkzee<\/a><\/p>\n

@TanuKul<\/a> @nathan_archana<\/a> @ArunDev1<\/a> were all there. Ramalinga Reddy definitely did not say this. https:\/\/t.co\/pex6A2Owgv<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThere you go, Maoist link to Gauri Lankesh\u2019s murder<\/em>\u201d The reaction of the right-wingers to Gauri Lankesh\u2019s murder was predictable<\/a>. They had not only engaged in their classic victim shaming and whataboutery but also cheered on hearing about the murder. Republic TV now gave them the Maoist link to talk about. <\/p>\n

\"Prashant<\/p>\n

The Republic tweet about the Karnataka Home Minister\u2019s statement of the Maoist link was widely quoted as a new angle to the murder. Did the minister really make the statement that Republic TV attributed to him?<\/p>\n

Alt News<\/em> spoke to some of those present at the briefing and they confirmed that they did not hear the minister say this or even use the term \u201cMaoist\u201d in his statement. Alt News<\/em> got a recording of the press interaction to reconfirm what the minister said.<\/p>\n

The Karnataka Home Minister, Ramalinga Reddy was asked the question, \u201cshe played a major role in asking Naxalites from Chikmagalur to surrender. Few have already surrendered; Do you think their groups have played role in this Murder?\u201d<\/em> To this the minister replied, \u201conly after investigation we can come to know\u201d. <\/em>This is very different from saying \u201cWill probe Maoist link to murder<\/em>\u201d that was tweeted in quotes by Republic TV<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As reported by The Hindu<\/a>, the minister had said, \u201cThough there is a similarity with the murder of M.M. Kalburgi, it is too early to draw conclusions<\/em>\u201d\u00a0Clearly the minister was not drawing any conclusions at that stage. Three teams have been formed to probe the murder. Indian Express<\/a> also quotes the minister as saying \u201cIt will not be appropriate for me to make any comments as to who is behind the incident. It could be for personal reasons or for ideological reasons.<\/em>\u201d Despite him exercising caution and choosing his words carefully, they were twisted to give a Maoist angle by Republic TV<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As a final check and confirmation, Alt News contacted the minister himself to clarify what he said. We informed him about the tweet by Republic which quotes him stating “Will probe Maoist link to murder<\/em>“. The minister categorically denied that he made any statement about the Maoist link and reconfirmed the statement that other media houses have quoted.<\/p>\n

At a time when there is so much vitriol<\/a> being spread on social media about the murder of Gauri Lankesh, is it too much to ask Republic TV<\/em> to play a responsible role? Republic TV<\/em> must answer why it twisted the statement of the Home Minister to conclude that a Maoist angle was being investigated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
