There is a simpler way to derive the result from the approach mentioned by K. Conrad. You can find it in the following 1997 note by Paul T. Bateman:
Bateman, Paul T.: A theorem of Ingham implying that Dirichlet's L-functions have no zeros with real part one. L'Enseignement Mathématique. 43 (1997), 281-284.
It is important to note that the consideration of functions similar to $\zeta^2(s)L(s, \chi)L(s,\overline{\chi})$ can be traced back to Professor Narasimhan's own attack on the non-vanishing of the Riemman zeta function at $\sigma=1$.
