Railways orders probe on distribution of ‘propagandist’ newspaper on train
Distribution of a “propagandist” newspaper to passengers on board the Bangalore-Chennai Shatabdi Express has kicked up a row, prompting the Indian Railways to order a probe into the matter.
The train passenger Gopika Bashi, a gender justice campaigner, flagged on twitter, about the distribution of a newspaper, which was not authorised.
“This morning I boarded the Bangalore-Chennai Shatabdi Express only to be greeted by this blatantly propagandist publication on every other seat – The Aryavarth Express. Had never even heard of it. How is @IRCTCofficial allowing this?” Bashi wrote on the microblogging site on Friday.
