Republic News Release: BARC email shreds Param Bir Singh’s lie-ridden campaign in TRP case

Republic Media Network is delighted to inform people of India that it has an official email from rating ncy BARC clearly stating that re is t a single complaint or malpractice found against Republic TV, Republic Bharat or any or affiliate of News Network. With disclosure of BARC, fake news- based campaign against Republic led by Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh comes to an end. 

Crumbling pack of lies floated and repeated over last 9 days by Param Bir Singh and a section of media, BARC email to Republic Media Network’s Group CEO Vikas Khanchandani specifically confirms that re is malpractice by network. In interest of making truth public before people of India, here are facts of latest piece of evidence Republic has put out: 

• On 17th October, 2020, Republic Network Group CEO Vikas Khanchandani received an official email from BARC clearly stating that re is t a single complaint or malpractice found against or by our Network by rating ncy.
   
• Quoting from email by BARC, “If re was any disciplinary action initiated under said Code against M/s ARG Outlier Media Private Ltd., n BARC India would have communicated same to you along with necessary documents for your response.” 

With this documentary evidence by BARC out in public domain, three things are proven: 

1. Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh’s comments against Republic TV were blatantly false, lies and an extension of political vendetta. It is w incumbent on him to apologise for his lie-ridden campaign against India’s Number 1 news network.
    
2. That every word uttered across certain sections of media is false, unsubstantiated and fake news. w that truth is out in public domain, onus is w on those portals to correct mselves, apologise for fake news and put out truth.
    
3.   Republic Media Network which runs on highest professional and journalistic standards has been vindicated after a 9 day slander campaign curated by vested interests and we have been duly informed that re was never a case against us. 

With today’s disclosure ultimately busting entire chare of lies Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh tried to personally float against Republic, serious questions regarding malicious attempt to concoct evidence against Network come to fore. Right from his news conference on 8th October, 2020 where he claimed that he h received a complaint from BARC against Republic to every news interview he gave consequently wherein he repeated that unsubstantiated and vicious crafted narrative— Mumbai Police Commissioner went on a tire against Republic based on a series of complete lies. w that those lies have been burnt to ash by evidence in public domain, it is incumbent that serious action is taken against Param Bir Singh as well as all political masters, should y be involved. 

By putting people first, nation first, and news first, Republic TV and Republic Bharat have emerged as clear leers in English and Hindi news respectively. Republic Media Network will continue to speak truth to power, question those who are answerable, and fight for justice in case after case. 

We h always believed truth has a way of coming out— matter powers at play in attempt to suppress it. thing and body can stop truth from coming out. Let this case serve as an example before people of India of just that.

Republic will fight every attempt to bury, pressurise and subdue an independent news network by those attempting to fabricate evidence, spreing mistruths and initiating action based on fake allegations.

We have full faith in Hourable courts of law to take this matter and every or matter in campaign against us to its logical conclusion. We are grateful to Supreme Court and High Court for its orders in or cases wherein Republic has been wrongfully targeted.

We will fight this campaign against us and come out unscad, matter how hard Mumbai Police or anyone else tries to intimidate and harass us. We will comply with law of land, but t for a moment give in to coercive attempts to shut down our pursuit for truth through our journalism. 

We will fight this campaign both in courts of law and court of public opinion, with people of India by our side.
