In
the last few weeks we have been seeing too many incidents of the media getting
too excited on the case against Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu. Investigative media
becomes ridiculous when it surpasses the bounds of logic and does things to get
more attention by pushing completely biased information.
Very
recently, it has come to light that India TV jazzed up an unassuming video of
BapuJi interacting with his disciples and a young student who was purportedly
victimized by Bapu. It is rather amusing how media channels twist things out of
context and make them appear like soap operas just to grab eyeballs. In the
doctored video AsaramJi Bapu is shown gently touching and pampering the young
girl, just as any grandparent with exactly the same feelings that would
normally be seen in average Indian families. There was absolutely no grounds
for anyone to blow this simple video out of proportion, but a certain section
of the media cannot help but show such incidents for more than what they
actually are. What we have seen on India TV is just that.
Quite
interestingly this incident occurred in the household of a devotee of Sant
Shree AsaramJi Bapu in presence of the girl’s parents and close relatives. It
has further been said that the said video clip was recorded especially on
request of the devotee at whose residence BapuJi was present that day. When the
MMS went live the family was shocked because women in their family were falsely
accused of running sex rackets and prostitution which was untrue. This telecast
resulted in embarrassment for the family primarily because neighbours of the
unfortunate family began questioning the nature of their relation with Sant
Shree AsaramJi Bapu. Not to mention this caused immense emotional pain and
scarring following which the family finally lodged a complaint against the news
channel.
This
shows that there is no limit as to how despicable the media can get, assailing
devotees of AsaramJi Bapu for TRPs.
