[23] On 10 April 2020, on Zee News, Chaudhary (according to Al Jazeera) openly accused Muslims of impeding India's coronavirus war.
"[27] In November 2023, the News Broadcasting & Digital Standards Authority (NBDSA) recently took action against two shows hosted by Sudhir Chaudhary, citing concerns about Islamophobia.
One episode, aired in October 2022 as part of his 'Black and White' series, addressed the topic of "Muslim participation in Garba festivals."
In another instance, Sudhir Chaudhary made unfounded claims about illegal mausoleums on government land in Uttarakhand during his role as anchor, thus stigmatizing the entire Muslim community.
In response to these complaints, the NBDSA reprimanded the channel for the unnecessary and loose use of the term 'Mazhaar Jihaad' and ordered the removal of the video of one of the shows.
[28] While targeting minorities again, he stirred debate on his show "Black and White" by declaring India the best cricket team globally, attributing success to no reservations in player selection.
Social media backlash accused him of promoting divisive narratives against minorities and backward classes, urging a deeper understanding of the historical context of reservations for marginalized upliftment.
[29] In March 2024, Aajtak, who broadcast his show, was again fined by NBDSA for misrepresenting Barack Obama's statement about protecting Muslim minorities in India by attributing it to the 'tukde tukde gang' and separatist and terrorist movements such as Khalistan, thus distorting viewers' perception of the matter.
