Zee News accuses Jindal’s Press Conference as an attempt to divert attention from demand for independent probe in the Coalgate scam.
New Delhi, October 27, 2012: In a strong reply to Naveen Jindal and JSPL’S Press Conference on 25th October, 2012 where he had alleged wrongdoing on the part of Zee News, today Zee News Limited has sent a defamation notice to the tune of Rs 150 crore against Mr. Naveen Jindal and JSPL.
Zee News has condemned and completely rejected the doctored evidence produced by Jindal. Zee News sees this as a deliberate attempt to malign the trustworthy Television Network.
Zee News has granted a three day time period to Mr Naveen Jindal to withdraw all his unsubstantiated and defamatory allegations against Zee News, failing which Mr Jindal would face civil and criminal actions initiated by Zee News.
Zee News has always been the forerunner in exposing Naveen Jindal’s double standard as a politician and industrialist in Coalgate scam. Zee News clearly understands that it is to suppress the coverage that Zee News was telecasting on Coalgate, that the Corporate Communications team from JSPL first tried to bribe Samir Ahluwalia with Rs 25 crore, which he declined straightway, and later was offered a Rs 100 crore Advertising deal to stop the coverage of Coalgate scam.
The Truth seems to lie somewhere in between!?
