The Need to Raise Our Voices Against Injustice

Media in our country is infamous for picking favourites and training their guns against innocent either on the provocation of powerful forces or because big stake holders at the core of such media channels are politically or ideologically aligned to people who have an interest in maligning names and false implicating people for their personal motives and gains.

               

Our innocent BapuJi has fallen victim to such syndicates that are hand in glove with the ruling government and they have an interest in tarnishing Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu's name. Attack after attack has been directed towards Bapu, yet it has failed to break the spirit of truth seekers and those who know and believe in the truth. These are the people we need to learn from and two incidents that have sought to raise voice against injustice and demand the truth are as follows:

1. The December twitter protest

Thousands of BapuJi supporters gathered and raised their voice against corruption and blatant bias against those who have made issues out of nothing for their selfish motives. More than a hundred different examples of bias were mentioned in these tweets, which went to become one of the trending topic on Twitter. Not only is this incident worthy of congratulations, but we must also take a lead out of it and protest against the anti-Hindu mindset of media and lack of action against people like Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tarun Tejpal.

2. Letter to Uttar Pradesh chief minister

In another similar incident protesters gathered around the District Commissioner's office in Allahabad in UP and submitted a letter to  the CM in which they requested that strong action be taken against the CEOs and news anchors of news channels India TV, News Nation and News 24. In the said memorandum, it was mentioned that despite repeated requests, these news channels have failed to tone down derogatory language against AsaramJi Bapu, which caused them untold pain and mental suffering.

Both of these are exemplary incidents which has set the right precedent for the rest of us to take right action against perpetrators of this crime.
