A group of men who went after those they called “anti-national” and claim they got them arrested, suspended and, in one case, fired from a job won an RSS affiliate’s badge of honour — for social media journalism. AdvertisingLast Saturday, Clean The Nation (CTN), the group which went after them, was honoured with the Social Media Patrakarita Narad Samman, instituted by RSS-affiliate Indraprastha Vishwa Samvad Kendra (IVSK). On the social media journalism award to CTN, Vagish Issar, secretary of IVSK, said: “We gave the award to them because we saw how much this group loves the nation. The college issued a suspension order, and directed the student to lodge an FIR at the police station concerned regarding the “hacked” social media ID. The letter circulated on social media said the company fired an employee for posting “unlawful and discriminational comments”.
