Journalist Richa Parashar has filed a complaint with the New Delhi DCP seeking an FIR against Rahul Gandhi and others. She alleges she was pulled and pushed during the 12 October protest, while Congress calls the claims a BJP-orchestrated narrative. The allegations are unproven.
Why it matters: A complaint against the Leader of the Opposition over a protest linked to the Election Commission dispute, with claims and counter-claims, shapes how Indians read the clash between the Opposition and the BJP.
This matter is before the courts or under investigation. Nazariya reports what was said and alleged; it does not decide guilt or the outcome.
Why it matters: How India's voter rolls are revised decides who can vote in 2027; the dispute has moved from the Election Commission to the courts, the streets and diplomacy.
Based on 4 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.
Large outlets read: 4 of 15 (Times of India, India Today, Aaj Tak, Times Now).
Three outlets are Neutral and one is Supportive of the Union govt; the main difference is whether Congress's denial and the hospital and video details appear alongside her account.
Why: Reports a journalist's criminal complaint against opposition leader Rahul Gandhi over alleged assault. No policy, identity or statism angle. Mostly one side's allegations, but no government framing.
Why: Reports a complaint against an opposition leader with both sides quoted and a note that videos don't clearly show a push. Touches no ideological dimension; mainly a political-conflict incident.
Why: Reports a journalist's criminal complaint against an opposition leader, notes allegations are unproven and includes Congress denial. No policy, identity or statism angle, so not ideological.
Why: Centre-ish on ideology: it touches opposition politics and security-state themes only lightly. Stance leans pro-government side because only the complainant's account is carried, with no Congress response.
Critical, Neutral or Supportive, scored separately. It refers to the Union government unless the story is about a state. On the spectrum strip, each dot is an article: its position is the ideology score and its colour is the stance.
If an article would score differently with the parties' roles reversed, that signal is partisanship. It goes into the stance tag, not the ideology score.
High, Medium or Low, based on how much of the article was read, how many clear signals it has, and whether they agree.
Stories with fewer than five articles are marked. A blindspot is a contested story where we found coverage from only one side.
Articles that touch none of the three dimensions, such as a car launch or a match report, carry no ideology score.
This prototype is refreshed by hand (last on 17 Oct, 03:00 IST). At launch:

| All other outlets | checked every 15 minutes |
| New story | goes up at 3 articles from 2 or more outlets, marked Limited coverage |

New facts go into a dated update log at the top of the story. New articles carry an “Added” tag. If a note or list changes, the earlier version stays viewable.
A story is Live while coverage arrives, Winding down after about 2 days without new coverage, and Archived after about 7. Nothing is deleted: links never change, archived scores are frozen, and stories stay on their issue pages and in search.
NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Indian Express, News18, ABP, Times Now and Mint block the reader used for this prototype, so their articles are missing. Each story shows how many of India’s 15 largest outlets we read. The launch pipeline will read outlets’ public feeds, TV transcripts and Hindi articles.
