Indian Media False-Projecting Team Anna's Stand

The day since Social activist Anna Hazare and his team appealed to the people of Hisar for not casting their vote in favor of Congress, they are being targeted by various political parties, and since last two days almost every news channel is trying to project that Anna is stepping into politics, and media is actually trying to spread confusion and doubt in the mind of its audience,

I don’t know if it’s a mysterious coincidence that most of the media houses think unidirectionally or maybe they have been asked to telecast such material to portray wrong Image of Team Anna, may be some of them are doing it under political pressure, or may be some of them have been paid to do so by political parties.

If my above mentioned points made you frown then please do recall infamous “Radia-Tapes” and Amar Singh tapes titled “Amar Prem Katha” which revealed that even media fraternity is not untouched by corruption, and we all know how some big names from Indian media popped out from “Radia controversy” which included the big guns like Vir Sanghavi-Hindustan Times, Barkha Dutt-NDTV, Prabhu Chawla- former editor India Today, Shankar Aiyar, G.Ganapathy Subramaniam, M.K. Venu, Rajdeep Sardesai-CNN-IBN, Jehangir Pocha-NewsX, Rajiv Behl-CNBC TV18, Prannoy Roy-NDTV and others, so we really can’t deny that there is a high probability that political parties are using media as a weapon to tackle and to dent the Image and stand of Team Anna by spreading confusion and rumors about them.

If we take a look at the events which took place in recent past, we will see that on one hand where BJP and RSS have been regularly trying to take credit of Janlokpal Movement, some political parties like S.P are in a fix and still uncertain about their stand, whereas on the other hand we have panic stricken Congress which has been openly opposing Team Anna from the very beginning and now is criticizing the current stand of Team Anna, so overall it’s a total chaos in our political class.

But I am unable to understand that why this stand of Team Anna is being heavily criticized by political parties? according to me he is not at all wrong, and most disappointing thing is that even Indian media is not doing its job honestly, the basic responsibility of media in every society is to reveal the truth in front of people, but I am sorry to say that Indian media is not doing its job in a responsible manner, they are not showing the full picture to its audience, because appealing to the  people not to caste their vote in favor of one particular political party can't be addressed as stepping into politics, its their fundamental right which allows them freedom of expression and freedom of speech so they are completely entitled to do so.

Team Anna had openly stated in the past, addressing all the candidates who are contesting in Hisar polls, requesting them to get letter from the bosses of their respective political parties in support of Janlokpal Bill, and they also clearly stated that Team Anna will campaign against those political parties who don’t support Janlokpal Bill, this is the entire story, 
Since Congress didn’t sent any letter supporting Janlokpal Bill, now Team Anna is campaigning against them, 

but news channels are projecting that Anna is doing politics, which is completely false and grossly unfair, the fact is that Team Anna is actually fighting against corrupt political practices and they are just trying to eradicate the dirty politics, they are just making people aware about the stand of political parties on Janlokpal bill,

Now no mentally sound person in his right frame of mind can call it unfair, but Indian media is actually misleading and misguiding the people of nation by projecting wrong Image of Team Anna.

I am really curious to know why Congress didn’t send their support letter in favor of Janlokpal Bill? Whereas all other political parties did so without failing, 

If my memory serves me right then M.P’s of Congress in parliament passed an unanimous resolution in favor of key issues of Janlokpal Bill, so what is the problem now?

According to me there could be only two reasons

1.      Congress is scared that if they do so and if this bill sees the daylight, then they might have to pay a heavy price for all the wrongs things they have done.

2.      Their conscious is not clear, and Congress doesn’t want to have any strong anti corruption bill as it might affect the illegal earnings of their political leaders.

And that is why they didn’t send any letter supporting Janlokpal Bill.

But most ironic thing here is that our media which is considered as one of the pillar of democracy is not performing its duty truthfully, instead of telling the truth they are working in favor of corrupt political parties and demeaning the movement which has no political ambitions hidden behind it, and entire purpose of this movement is to awaken the people and spread awareness about good governance and letting people know the ground reality, but alas our nation is suffering from rampant corruption which has spread to its very roots and even the Indian media is not unaffected by it.
