Justice for Param Pujya Sant Asaram ji Bapu

We have seen in the last few months we have seen the media and police don the role of a vigilante and singe BapuJi in false rape cases that were brought about on him on the instigation of detractors of the Bapu. It must be noted that at that time thousands rose in protest of crimes that were forced on him. The incident was taken up by the media and twisted out of context to gain personal leverage and get TRPs. The allegations that were brought against him were blown out of proportion and the biased media did more harm to the issue than facilitate carriage of justice.

What is even more painful is the fact that recently a few news channels have pulled an innocent sadhak family into the quagmire of sexual crimes and threw mud at women in the family by hinting that they were actively involved in sex crimes on behest of BapuJi. News Nation, India TV and News 24 are guilty of besmirching a Sadhak's family with utter disregard for their right to privacy and violating the right of a child. This was carried on over for a period of 3 days from 14th December to 16th December, 2013. Outraged by this the family approached police and lodged a complaint invoking 13(C) POCSO against News 24. Unfortunately that failed to yield any result. Following that up the family decided to lodge an FIR at Palam Vihar Police Station on 16 December, 2013. Keeping in mind the gravity of the situation, the family brought the other two TV channels to book with a formal FIR.

The media victimized family made an emotional appeal to the public who rose against perpetrators in the Damini case to rise again and demand justice for his minor niece who was falsely dragged into an unnecessary tussle created by the media with complete disregard for her rights. The time is also right for the people of this nation to rise in unison against schemers and anti-nationalist sentiments against Hindu saints.

IPS Officer names Mukhesh Ambani's son Akash Ambani in hit and run case, media and police not doing enough

In the multi crore rupee wreckage that took place in Mumbai on the night of December 8th, 2103, the police are treading very cautiously in its investigation.By reports in some newspapers the police do not want to hush up the matter or make false arrests but going by the public's reaction, police and the media are just beating around the bush because a very high profile individual is involved.

IPS officer YP Singh has clearly indicated that the driver of the ill-fated car was none other than son of Mukesh Ambani, Akash Ambani. Even Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has expressed his surprise at the way police and media are handling the case, he says, " It seems the only people who don’t know who was driving the fancy Aston Martin are the Mumbai police"!

This is not the first time media and police actions have fallen short of the expectations of the public, there will be countless cases if we go digging the past, but the recent trend of people losing its faith on the impartiality of media and actions of police is worrying. In this case, people and media are thought to be hand in glove trying to  protect the son of a big national figure who is known to have very strong connections with political parties of the country. The media has gone mum on covering this news much less conduct their infamous sting operations like they did in case of saint AsaramJi Bapu.

In BapuJi's case news channels and media houses have conducted countless sting operations and spread defamatory news in more than one occasion. Instead of finding out the truth, it has blatantly ignored human rights and violated the right to privacy in more than one instance. Recently the NBSA has taken offense to how India TV presented BapuJi's Holi celebrations in Maharastra. Given such bias in its presentations,  the media has not only failed in its basic duty to present un-opinionated news, it has also lost public's trust.
