According to Channel7, it was the first News Channel to break the news on the Ayodhya attack. The channel says that several top Government officials, ministers and opposition leaders came to know of it only after it was reported by Channel 7.

Channel 7 was the only Channel to have a reporter present while the attack was taking place and provided bullet by bullet coverage on all aspects of the unfolding drama which included the heroism of the security forces, the details of the modus operandi, the statement of the taxi driver and of course the usual attempts to milk mileage by the political parties. The channel was also the first to air the news of the temple being safe.

Channel 7 has been rushing ahead with Breaking News Day After Day with the support of its powerful editorial team comprising of more than 250 TV journalists, an exclusive countrywide network of Dainik Jagran contributors and 3000 Jagran journalists deployed across the country.

"Channel 7, a synonymous of credibility, has always promised to deliver in-depth coverage and news every hour. The breaking story of Ayodhya attack is another example to prove our commitment to bring the latest to our viewers and we will continue to do the same", commented Piyush Jain, Chief Operating Officer, Channel 7.
