New Delhi: In an unexpected turn of events, journalist Sushant Sinha found himself at the center of a Twitter storm after an on-air blunder during his show “Pathshala,” which translates to “classroom.” Sinha, known for his political commentary, was discussing the poll dynamics in Ayodhya when he mistakenly wrote one lakh four thousand votes as 1,00,004.
The incident occurred during a live broadcast, and a clip of the show quickly went viral, prompting a wave of criticism and trolling on social media. In the video, Sinha can be seen repeatedly trying to write the figure but failing to get it right, penning 1,00,004 instead of the correct 1,04,000.
Twitter users were quick to point out the mistake, with many mocking Sinha’s numerical slip-up. People from various backgrounds joined the discussion, sharing memes and comments that highlighted the error.
While some viewers found humor in the situation, others raised concerns about the credibility of television journalism.
Sinha has yet to respond to the backlash, and it remains to be seen whether he will address the error publicly. The incident underscores the heightened scrutiny that public figures, especially those in the media, face in the age of social media.
