The programme was broadcast on March 11, 2020 where Sudhir Chaudhury showed a “jihad chart” copied from a dubious Facebook page to claim that there was an attempt to change the demographics of the Hindu majority region of Jammu, by increasing its Muslim population.
Zee News also ran a hashtag #ZameenJihad while “explaining” the existence of different kinds of “jihad”.
