INDIAN MEDIA ATTACKED – THE THIRD DIMENSION POST 26/11 (22nd Nov 2009, 1445 Hrs)

INDIAN MEDIA ATTACKED – THE THIRD DIMENSION POST 26/11 (22nd Nov 2009, 1445 Hrs)

Last year on 26/11, ten Pakistani terrorists arrived in Mumbai, killed hundreds and what happened? Since the Rich & Famous were affected (Taj / Trident Hotels) in their Five Star Culture and Circle, almost everyone joined hands to come on road, shout for immediate action from government (remember, not even Indian media bothered to really cover the poor Indians killed in CST, the very same day). CM Vilasrao Deshmukh and State Home Minister RR Patil heads were rolled and so also Mumbai Police Commissioner. Even at the centre, Home Minister Shivraj Patil was forced to resign for his incompetence to save the nation for such a dreaded terrorist attack on Indian soil, while the nation’s security was penetrated without any resistance at all.

What has happened in the last one year after such mayhem? Almost nothing has changed in our beautiful nation.

Bulletproof jacket supplier scam came into light – After a year also, the Supplier’s name has not been disclosed by CM Ashok Chavan (imagine he doesn’t even seem to know anything about the sub-standard bulletproof jackets after one year, as he confessed on NDTV interview – IS HE REALLY FIT TO RULE MAHARASTRA FOR HIS INCAPABILITIES OR SUPPLYING CRORES TO CONGRESS COFFERS?) and he must be enjoying life in Swiss Alps counting and depositing his crores in Swiss Banks. The unknown supplier’s (Media’s Fault too) has not been taken to task and punished severely by Maharastra government because of which some of the brave soldiers of India lost their lives. Is Rajdeep Sardesai, his channels and other Indian channels listening? Will they unearth the real culprit, the crores that changed hands to gift the tender to supply such defective sub-standard bulletproof jackets and will the Minister Responsible be punished for selling his own motherland’s safety and security? –

I really would like to see how efficient our Indian media and system is, to really punish severely the supplier and the minister involved!

Formation of FORCE ONE announced: Even after a year, the Maharastra government has failed to give them 100 acres land for their training and base camp. Where is Force One, when even SRPF Jawans are made to shamelessly live for two long months in open in heritage structure Gateway of India. Truly commendable indeed Mr Chavan! Bravo! You should really be awarded with country gallantry award for being so brave to be so dishonest and corrupt in decision making! Yes, the media reported just for a day about Government granting 40 acres of land, which is encroached by slum dwellers and pigs. –

Why has media kept silent on this serious issue for one long year? Why they didn’t force the government to act promptly to establish Force One’s Base Camp for safety and security of India’s Financial Capital? Actually, do we really care?

The Rich & Famous of Page 3 joined hands with one and all in the city to shout aloud with beautiful banners, burn candles and laid down colourful flowers. The media covered the march for their High TRPs, however, mind you, the move never really bothered about CST, instead they rallied around Taj & Trident Hotels. When a rich dies, the government is answerable to act instantaneously but when several hundred daily commuters (poor people) died in multiple train bombings in 2006, no one really even cared to join hands, especially the Rich & Famous. People and the Media have forgotten the train bombings but there is so much highlight for celebrating the first anniversary of 26/11 Attack by the Rich & Famous… -

Folks, are we Indians so callous and shameless to celebrate such a cruel tragedy instead of marking the day in silent prayers for all those who were killed or gave lives, so we could live in peace?

One of the dreaded terrorists, Qasab was captured and the Indian media and judiciary system has made a mockery of themselves by treating the bastard killer by highlighting his pains and humane side, while he sat there in front of Indian judge laughing at them, us Indians and India. Indian media were more concerned about Qasab’s Non-veg diet and Biryani… oh why the poor fellow is not given Chicken Biryani, about the pain of his mother, eminent judges were fighting among themselves for not giving the bastard a fair trail etc etc… Indian media should be ashamed for being so-so shallow to report all things by highlighting in their special episodes to garner High TRPs and yearly awards. Truly pathetic and shameful! –

The bastard should be hanged in open for every Indian to slap him hard one by one and telecast it live, so that terrorist worldwide should know what it takes to attack India and what Indians can do when they are challenged by such dreaded attacks. But such a thing will never happen because we are never united as one India!

Bunkers which were immediately installed after 26/11 last year, are no more guarded by armed soldiers, are in shabby state as they have turned into store house, police dinner place or simply unused. What has the government or media done about such a lapse of security measures? By installing CCTV cameras, Maharastra government feels and thinks their job is done to safeguard the nation? In Railway Stations one can see police constables chit chatting in groups, extorting money from traders to let them pass their heavy luggage & goods in trains – instead of patrolling seriously and catching the unscrupulous people, who may any time plant a bomb! I have never seen any police in railway station doing his duty in a sincere manner because the government is not really serious about anything serious that is happening in our country. –

Has the media joined hands in a united manner to question the government to be more responsible towards nation’s security and safeguard of the citizen?

While the Congress has encouraged Shiv Sena, MNS and Bajrang Dal to mushroom into big regional powers to divide and rule the country, the media has helped the ruling government always by spreading more hatred in the country than the corrupt politicians. The attack on IBN7 and Lokmat Office in Mumbai and Pune respectively by Shiv Sainiks has shaken Rajdeep Sardesai and staff including the media on the whole, to finally unite and demanding immediate serious action from the Ashok Chavan’s government. However, for how many days, this circus is going to last? I am sure Rajdeep Sardesai will know much better than me and many Indians? Imagine, when nothing has happened even when the country was attacked by Pakistani terrorists, what will happen now? I am saying this because I know the real culprits will never be punished by Indian government. Imagine, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit helps KILLER Manu Sharma flouting rules of parole and law, to roam in society and create more brawls in pubs… yet High Court just blames the Delhi Government. Sheila Dikshit is a bigger killer than Manu Sharma, who used his father’s clout (Congressman) to roam free for two months even though he has been in jail serving Life Sentence… This is truly the height of heights of CORRUPTION of Congress Government and that too, it has happened in country’s capital Delhi under the nose of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister Chidambaram. What a BIG SHAME can the Congress achieve more than this kind of act?

Rajdeep Sardesai and his staff are feeling the heat and pain because they were attacked by goons in broad daylight. But when innocents are killed for no faults of theirs, their anchors don’t even feel any remorse to be insensitive to ask the victims senseless and callous question – Aap ko kaisa lag raha hai? I wonder, why the anchors didn’t ask Rajdeep the same question after the attack? Clearly, he was stirred and shaken by the incident as he was hamming on and on reporting about the attack. I don’t encourage such attacks but I would blame the media also for spreading chaos and hatred in society with their false reporting and of course many times the scribes think themselves to be over smart and that they can nail anyone or everyone.

I would definitely blame the scribe who put the words in Sachin’s mouth by asking – Who does Mumbai belongs to? And to gain high TRPs, he did his job thinking to be superior than all his colleagues… almost immediately, all the channels’ correspondents started running to every available media hungry corrupt politicians to capture their reaction to Sachin’s statement. The result is in front of us. –

Why did the media created such a situation when they know very well various parties have agendas to disturb peace and harmony of the city and they just need a quote from someone famous? Why do they always run to opposition leaders for crisp sound bytes in each and every silly issue, thereby spreading hatred among various parties while innocent lives are affected and national property are damaged for really no reasons? An educated intelligent individual will never instigate hatred instead will spread more love but media believes by speculating an issue they can garner higher TRPs and earn more revenues.

Well, there are many more points that I can write about and one thing I would like to request one and all – Please use your ‘common sense’ while dealing with an issue rather than show your intelligence that will backfire and harm you, the society and the nation. Please be responsible in whatever you do and think about how to progress collectively as ONE INDIA. Why should we allow our politicians to divide us when terrorists unite us? Why we cannot fight against our corrupt system by uniting as ONE INDIA and INDIANS?
