Third day
running the debate on the successful pre-emptive actions on high Seas by the Indian
Coast Guards is raging on Twitter. TV channels and the so called security
experts in the print medium were unable to divest the government of the approbation
from Indians. Cryptic press release and lack of any selective leaks, plus the
inability of these ostensible security experts in Media to fret out any facts
has left them frustrated and fuming. They seem to have realized government does
not have much faith in them.
Ultimately
Congress had to step in since it’s surrogates were unable to deliver the
results. Congress at it’s graceless best demanded government should furnish
proof of terror strike averted before claiming credit for it. It cannot get any
more petty than this. Then Congress is known to misbehave when not in power, it
did conduct itself in an identical manner during Kargil operations in 1999.
BJP and the
government despite serious provocations has not reacted or initiated any
negative action against media, unlike the Chief Minister of Telengana K Chandrasekhar
Rao under whose watch ABN’s district incharge journalist Middela Ranganath
received special treatment at the hands of police.
Saikat
Datta of Hindustan Times has also raised some questions, what the public is
interested is, are these persons questioning the action of the Government in
preventing a terror strike or is it the lack of information and selective leaks
that is bothering them.
We get a
distinct feeling some of them are actually hoping and praying for BJP government
to fail in it’s attempts to prevent terror strike.
Mr. Praveen
Swami is still on his special little trip of being unsocial on Social Media. He
must have blocked more than the number of followers he has.
Twitter is
the real Hamam where these self professed journalists have been stripped naked.
Hamam mein sab nange hain. Inko nanga hum ne kiya
