Naveen Zindal in 100C adigaru anta After months of being on the receiving end, Naveen Jindal, chairman, Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL) and Congress leader from Haryana, lashed out at Subhash Chandra-promoted news broadcaster Zee News Ltd and alleged that it was into "extortion " and "blackmailing" corporates. Jindal played a video clipping to a packed media gathering in support of his company’s allegation that Zee News demanded Rs 100 crore from JSPL in exchange for stopping airing news stories targeting the company. JSPL has already filed a First Information Report (FIR) with the Anti-Extortion Cell of the Crime Branch of Delhi Police making allegations of extortion, intimidation and defamation against Zee News. JSPL has alleged Zee News’ Editor Sudhir Chaudhary offered to drop the channel’s campaign against JSPL for a Rs 100-crore advertising deal. Jindal announced that he was forced to expose Zee News, despite the ongoing police investigation, as the news channel continued to air reports against JSPL since 19 October after his company refused to sign the deal. “This is a never-before attempt of extortion and blackmail against us. And we have decided not to succumb to pressure,” said a visibly-charged Jindal. “There are many victims like us. But for the first time in the country’s history, a corporate has decided to expose the truth,” he added. The video clippings showed meetings of JSPL representatives with Chaudhary and Zee Business Editor Samir Ahluwalia. A transcript of the video clipping played by Jindal quoted Chaudhary as saying to the JSPL representative, “The biggest gain is that there is no further damage.” It also quoted Ahluwalia as saying, “We should at least earmark a spending of 25 crore for four years on our entire group..the proposal which I have.” video&transcript in the below link http://ibnlive.in.com/news/watch-naveen-jindals-reverse-stin g-operation-on-zee-tv/302184-53.html http://x.co/lHwy http://x.co/bgEk |
