Controversies

After the massive outrage online, Pratidin Time pulled down the video from its official YouTube channel which was uploaded in May 2015. However, a copy of it with English subtitles went viral on social networking sites.[2][3] There has also been an online petition to Assam's Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi to enforce responsible journalism, supported by many including Adil Hussain, and Rajni Basumatary
- In April 2021, a phone call recording went viral where Minister Pijush Hazarika was heard threatening a journalist of Pratidin Time[4] for airing a news related to his wife Aimee Baruah[5]
