In solidarity with Zee Kalinga and Satya Prakash Nayak

Satya Prakash Nayak, channel head of Zee Kalinga who has in the past brought many scams, irregularities and fraud in Odisha to light is now being victimized as part of a well orchestrated plan. Ever since he took on Krishna Chandra Moharana alias Baba Shankaranand Giri, founder of Kriya Yoga Ashram for his alleged money laundering and fraudulent actitivities, bogus complaints and vague allegations against Mr Nayak have been filed. Complaints were also filed accusing Zee Kalinga staff of inciting violence and 'taking a bribe' for telecasting reports against Giri, which are baseless and part of a motivated campaign to muzzle free speech and media freedom, which Zee Kalinga has always upheld, to the highest standards.

Role of Commissionerate Police is equally dubious which without due diligence and prima facie evidence registered FIR against Satya Prakash Nayak.

We believe, truth shall always triumph over propaganda. In this fight, several civil society groups and activists have rallied behind Satya Prakash. Media persons have also shown their support and backed Mr Nayak in his noble cause.

We seek your support as well.
