Ashish Chanchlani slams news channel for insensitive coverage after Ahmedabad flight tragedy

The tragic incident involving a flight mishap in Ahmedabad has shaken the nation, drawing attention from media and the public alike. While families mourn the loss of their loved ones and authorities investigate the circumstances, a moment of insensitivity from a media outlet has sparked outrage online.

Among those who voiced their displeasure was popular YouTuber and content creator Ashish Chanchlani. Using his Instagram Stories as a platform, Ashish didn’t hold back in calling out the misplaced priorities of certain news channels. In a scathing post, he highlighted how while people have died and families are grieving, one news channel seemed more concerned about flaunting an “exclusive” political ticket.

Sharing a sarcastic mockery of the news broadcast, Ashish wrote:'People have died meanwhile one news channel: ‘Humare paas former CM ki ticket hai exclusive ji haan Uska number ye hai Wo humare haath aayi haiAur kisi ke haath nai aayi’ He ended the post with a powerful message “STFU. HAVE SOME SHAME.'

Ashish’s words reflect the growing frustration among the public over how some media houses prioritize sensationalism over sensitivity. His comment wasn’t just a rebuke of irresponsible journalism but also a call to redirect focus where it truly matters—on the victims and their families.

The post quickly went viral, resonating with thousands who echoed his sentiments. In moments of tragedy, the role of the media becomes even more crucial, not just to inform but to show empathy and dignity. Ashish’s criticism highlighted a deeper problem within parts of the media—where tragedy becomes a tool for gaining views rather than a moment for reflection and responsibility.

The flight mishap in Ahmedabad, the details of which are still emerging, involved several passengers and resulted in serious consequences. As officials work on rescue and relief operations, the spotlight must remain on ensuring accountability, safety measures, and support for the affected.

As the investigation into the incident continues, the hope is that media outlets take this criticism seriously and shift their focus back to responsible, sensitive journalism—because in times of grief, compassion must always come first.
