An Israeli panellist took offense to the green, red and black colors of Indian news channel TV anchor Shreya Dhoundial's saree during a Mirror Now debate, insinuating it represented the Palestinian flag. When questioned about a bombed Gaza hospital, he stated "blue and white will always prevail" referring to Israel's flag colors. Dhoundial asserted the saree was her late grandmother's and carried no political meaning. She refused to let the guest dictate her attire or views and reiterated she would speak the truth. The exchange sparked reactions over attempting to politicize clothing and silence journalists.
