A yellow journal, DNA newspaper published blatant lies that 30 more tapes from Lenin Karuppan (the habitual sex offender and criminal) are sent to CID (Crime Investigation Department). Without any evidence or reliable source, the readers were programmed to make a faulty generalisation of ‘more tapes’, which did not exist. Poisonous defamation reached a new peak to incite hatred through outright lies and portray Paramahamsa Nithyananda as a gross criminal against public and His followers.
8 April 2010 - After over a month of the release of the fake video that was virally aired on Tamil television channels on March 2nd, 2010, the outright lie of 30 more tapes was reported to completely weaken and polarize public opinion to ‘incite hatred’ against His Divine Holiness.
- His image of a celibate saint was systematically programmed in public eye as a sex pervert by using inflammatory language.
- His immense popularity and prominence among masses was used against Him to grossly assassinate His character and distort His history.
Following this, a trial-by-media ensued as all types of accusations were hurled at Him, much like this article by DNA newspaper.
FALSE CLAIM: The article begins with a poisonously defamatory headline - ‘Nithya is entangled in more tapes’. The article goes on to claim that 30 tapes were sent to the CID. FACT: No other tapes were ever found, examined or produced before the court at any point of time.
DNA has a readership of 15,06,000 readers in Mumbai. With such a vast readership, DNA grossly violated journalistic integrity and commited the crime of programming millions of people against Hindu Gurus. Breaking all journalistic regulatory norms, this newspaper sensationalises false news consistently to assassinate the public image of His Divine Holiness, isolating Him from His devotees and the public.
Through this character assassination, they denied the human dignity and the free development of the Personality of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa declared in Article 1 and 22 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by United Nations.
