Lok Sabha Hires The Infamous Hate Monger Jagrati Shukla, Twitterati On Fire!

Right now is a bad time when it comes to Indian democracy. Things aren’t going as well as we expected them to be. A journalist with a history of communal and bigoted posts on the Internet who even advocated genocide was recently hired by the government-run channel Lok Sabha TV.

Jagrati Shukla, currently an assistant producer at the channel is an active member of the Twitterverse with a following of over 50.7k followers. She recently updated her bio to indicate that she is now a consultant for the government-run channel.

Back then once, Shukla was suspended from Twitter for a brief period of time for seemingly instigating lethal violence against the Muslim community, but her account was subsequently reinstated.

In the conversation about the 1984 riots, Shukla asserted that Sikhs “deserved” to be killed. She also, however, added a disclaimer to that tweet saying she does not support genocide.

Amid the recent violence that occurred in Aligarh Muslim University over a portrait of Jinnah during ex-Vice President Hamid Ansari’s visit, Jagrati Shukla called Ansari “a sophisticated Jihad apologist”, and did not refrain from furthering what she herself knows were “rumors.”

People, however, are outraged and disgusted by Jagrati Shukla’s association with Lok Sabha TV. Some have even alleged that the Government has rewarded her for the “instigating tweets.”

Twitterati has lost its cool after acknowledging all this on the Internet. They bashed the leading parties and Govt for such a blunder move.
