As if the harm the skewed media has done till now is not enough,
News 24, a popular news channel has gone one step ahead of the rest and defamed
an innocent family in its mindless hunger to gain more TRPs, blind to the fact
that their action has caused untold anguish and pain to innocent citizens!
Sadhaks of AsaramJi Bapu also complained of such biased content being presented
in other news channels as well. Notably, India TV and News Nation made repeated
telecasts of doctored information through its channels recently.
Recently India TV, a popular news channel has also been rapped by
the National Broadcasting Standards Authority (NBSA) for using derisive
language against AsaramJi Bapu, and now this has followed. It should be noted
that this recent misrepresentation is a graver offense than using defamatory
language against a holy saint because in this case the victim is a teenage
child who was portrayed by the media as victim, whereas the truth was far from
it!
In the news presentation BapuJi was shown moving his hand over the
back of the said girl in what the media described as offensive, but the truth
is that BapuJi was blessing her and his actions were comparable to a
grandfather patting his grandchild. To gain maximum leverage for their personal
sake, the news channel had one of its female journalist analyze the video clip
wherein she goes on to accuse BapuJi but seems completely oblivious to the fact
that she herself was involved in violating child rights. In their blind pursuit
for more TRPs, the said media channel not only pulled an innocent child into
the middle of an unnecessary debate but also maligned other women of the
household by hinting that women like them organized sexual escapades for Sant
Shree AsaramJi Bapu. This is despicable and unexpected from media in a country where
it is considered the 4th pillar of democracy.
Unlike most people who would have been scared of raising their
voice, this media victim family has come forward with their complaint and
invoked 13 (C)POCSO against News 24 for violating the rights of a child. This
is high time that we open our eyes to thousands of such unbiased news dished
out by the media against AsaramJi Bapu and lodge strong complains against such
misrepresentations.
