That is why your thought process seems correct!
No, I don't think so. Aru is not a tax-evading, corrupt businessman. That much is clear from how he treats his household staff and how much he appreciated Imlie's first article. Unlike Gul's other heroes, he does not rant over aukaad and khandaan and shit like that.
I don't think he's against Aditya's journalism per se. But that he's too condescending and obstinate with it. I remember one time he said something like "agar hum nahi chhapenge toh logon ko sikhayega kaun?" His job is to be publish the truth, be the voice of the people, and not teach people. I don't think Aru has a blind hatred for good journalism, or even for Aditya. It is misguided for sure, but he's playing at Aditya's ego and not demoting him for the heck of it
Either way, Aditya's demotion as well as Imlie's first piece have to be seen independently of Aru's revenge.
In the first instance, Aru was trying to break into newer, women readership for BT with Imlie's article
In the second instance, Aditya really was horribly and needlessly insubordinate. He could have just kept quiet and let Imlie do the job if he didn't want to do it. But he publically and tactlessly humiliated the interviewee and for what? Pooja Oberoi could have sued Bhaskar Times.
Also, I found his opinions regarding the actress very sexist. He totally deserved the demotion.
