Concerns Raised Over India Today Journalist's Statements on Farmer Protests
- India Today journalist Preeti Choudhary defended violence by protesting farmers and tried to justify attacks on 26 Jan 2021 at Red Fort
- She falsely claimed protesting is a fundamental right without limits, ignoring security and public order
- She claimed over 700 farmers died in protests, but analysis showed many deaths were unrelated
- She ignored farmers carried weapons, challenged police, and put up posters of Khalistani leaders
- During previous protests she complained about sexual harassment of female reporters, but now defends same protesters
