A journalist with a history of communal and bigoted online posts, who has even advocated genocide, was recently hired by the government run channel Lok Sabha TV.
Jagrati Shukla, now an assistant producer at Lok Sabha TV, is an active member of the Twitterverse with a following of over 50.7k followers. She recently updated her bio to indicate that she is now a consultant for the government run channel.
Shukla has already been suspended once from Twitter for a brief period of time for seemingly instigating lethal violence against the Muslim community, but her account was subsequently reinstated.

Some of Shukla’s most disturbing tweets were later deleted or removed by Twitter’s internal review team. Here’s a sample of some of them:
On World Population Day in 2016, she suggested “population and pest control” by killing “‘em all” in the Kashmir Valley.
She later made an addendum to that thread, saying that Kanhaiya Kumar should be killed too.
Jagrati Shukla also celebrated the killing of senior journalist Gauri Lankesh and asked those desiring a revolution and mourning her murder, “how does it feel to be on the receiving end?”

In conversation about the 1984 riots, Shukla asserted that Sikhs “deserved” to be killed. She also, however, added a disclaimer to that tweet saying she does not support genocide.

Amid the recent violence that occurred in Aligarh Muslim University over a portrait of Jinnah during ex-Vice President Hamid Ansari’s visit, Jagrati Shukla called Ansari “a sophisticated Jihad apologist”, and did not refrain from furthering what she herself knows were “rumors.”

People, however, are outraged and disgusted by Jagrati Shukla’s association with Lok Sabha TV. Some have even alleged that the Government has rewarded her for the “instigating tweets."
When contacted by The Quint, Lok Sabha TV editor Shyam Kishore Sahay said that the matter is “being looked into.”
