Voice against casteism

Satyendra Murli passionately spoke of double standards in the media. He argues, "If journalists from so-called lower caste or Dalit community raise their voice against casteism, they are accused of being casteist and the ones actually perpetuating this casteism actually become national journalists". He strongly urged journalists to stand together on issues of casteism and reservation. [9] [10]

Controversies

Satyendra Murli was criticised for raising issues relating to women, and had only shared a cartoon showing Mahatma Gandhi with a few women in the month of June 2012 on his Facebook account, but soon a case was lodged against him under various sections charging him of insulting the Father of the Nation. He raised women issues, he wrote a comment under the cartoon, ‘Are Indian women not awaken this much that they could raise voice against exploitation'.

Soon, Congress led Rajasthan state government committee lodged a case (dated 6 June 2012) under sections 67, 67 A of IT Act, 4 and 6 of Indecent Representative of Women (Prohibition) Act and 292 of Indian Penal Code against Satyendra Murli. He sent a clarification to the police. However, the police raided his house. In his absence, they tortured his family persons and took his bike. [11] [2] [3]

On 24 November 2016, Doordarshan journalist Satyendra Murli, claimed that the Prime Minister’s ‘live’ address had actually been pre-recorded and edited. [12] At a press conference held at the Press Club of India in New Delhi, Satyendra Murli alleged that Narendra Modi misled the citizens of the country by recording the announcement and took a unilateral decision to demonetise notes, which made up over 85 per cent in circulation. [13] He has filed an RTI requesting this information be made public.

According to Satyendra Murli, Modi's 8 November address was not live, but recorded and edited. It had been written many days before the RBI's proposal (not decision), on the subject at 6 p.m. of 8 November and the briefing of the Cabinet by Modi at 7 p.m. Modi's address was broadcast at 8:15 p.m. with a live band, to create the impression that the decision had been taken suddenly, and the public would believe that the matter had been kept fully secret, but it was certainly not so. Whether the Government of India rules under Transaction of Business Rules, 1961 and the RBI Act, 1934, have been followed, is a moot question. [14] [15] [16] [17]
