Controversy[edit]

In the March 28, 2020 edition of Vijaya Karnataka, It criticised the Muslim community and blamed it for the spread of the corona virus. The Campaign Against Hate Speech stated that it approached the Press Council of India since such articles created an environment of hate against Muslims and this hate translated into real-life violence against the members of the community.[5]

The Press Council of India has issued a bailable warrant against the editor of Vijaya Karnataka, for not appearing for proceedings in a hate speech complaint against an article published by the newspaper.[6]
