Chaudhary had interviewed Rashid’s father on the show, from whom she and her mother are estranged, and he had made wild allegations against her without any proof.
Sikri, also noted that the visuals Zee News chose to use alongside Rashid’s father’s words – of the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus – had nothing at all to do with what he was saying.
Responding to the order, Rashid said she was surprised that despite finding merit in her complaint and ruling in her favour, the NBDSA had not asked Zee News to issue a public apology or any compensation.
The broadcast made wild allegations against me – being anti-national, raising some slogans that they only know, misappropriating funds & what not!” she continued.
These attacks, she said, have not stopped despite her no longer being active in politics or public life for the last three years.
Around the time the Zee News programme aired, Rashid’s father had been making regular allegations against her, her mother and her sister.
