The celebrated prime-time anchor cited another incident in which a boy was abused by his own family after he congratulated Ravish for winning the Ramon Magsaysay award. Ravish further insinuated that that the Modi-led Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) is converting every member of the society into a political supporter and any dissent even within a family is being muzzled.

Interestingly, however, Ravish has himself several times in the past urged people to stop watching TV to "save democracy" and has often claimed that TV is corrupting the social fabric of the country.
