Last decade has been a path breaking process for visual media and those 'Breaking news" have increased the interest level of people into the news and events. After Doordarshan era was over when NDTV was picking the pace to monopolise the English media; Timesnow TV arrived and along with people; NDTV too found it out of race when a single man from timesnow changed whole the equations of journalism. His style of anchoring the shows and news has made him a popular figure among masses but same time few of the people are there who think his style is absurd and he must remain in his limits. At least that is what Congress people complaint of.
This is in respect of recently concluded TV show on Timesnow TV when a veteran Congress leader perspired in front of him and refused to answer his questions which so far did not happened in Indian journalism I suppose.
He replied that government is not answerable to Arnab Goswami but to Supreme Court of India ; but isn't it that before that, the government is answerable to the same people whose government it is and the same people whom Arnab is a part of.
A people's elected government is obliged to answer the questions of those voices who ask government on behalf of people, after all every individual is not in such position to ask such questions which are bound to baffle Mani Shankar Ayyer or Manu Shighavi because when people choose the government, they expect from such people to run the country neat and tight.
And look what Congress did to us? Inflation and scam after scams.......was that the people voted Congress for? And now if Arnab ask those questions which Mr. Ayyer has no answers (I am sure he hasn't; for the prime minister himself of this country has run out of answers) is it Arnab's or a commoner's fault to ask the questions?
Mind it you don't answer the questions it does not mean that the questions will vanish. They will continue to exit.
Bureaucracy wants a journalist to ask only questions which they had a thumping answer. If some question is tossed to them out of league which I call tough question, as Arnab asks them; there are lot many people who will shout foul in the name of journalism on this issue.
If we go through the data of Arnab community on facebook as well as other social sites, you will find him miles ahead in terms of popularity which is because he represents and asks the questions of millions of common Indians whose voice often goes unheard and unattended.
Now this is something you can understand, I can understand and Arnab followers understand but the shameless government does not understand that they are more answerable to the people than SC.
Brought to the knees by opposition on JPC issue, there were so many intellectuals in the society and in general discussion here on facebook as well, who questioned over the motive of opposition; specifically BJP; why they are at dead end for formation of a JPC which will look into the 2G scam. Time proved that scam happened and Raja is rightly in the jail.
Congress defended itself and I thought may be this PM was an honest man if not Congress.Frankly speaking I love to hate Congress but as I am told this PM is a good one, I thought of giving him due respect as an individual. What else an average Indian, who is busy in his day to day fight against inflation, 9 to 5 job, a family and social responsibilities and commitments has to do with the power politics in Delhi? Who did think of those crores of rupees piled in those Swiss bank? After all I am happy if I am getting few weeks of leave a god payment and relatively good life!
Well people say that Manmohan Singh is an honest man and I naively believed on it. We make opinion as per the news and people around us talk. Don't we?
Anyway, than one fine day the man agrees to form the much demanded JPC.
Than comes the appointment of Thomas, as a Chief Vigilance Commissioner who fought till date tooth and nail to prove him right till proven wrong; on which right from the beginning, Congress including PM maintained that his appointment was a legalised one and opposition is making unnecessary hue and cry.
Last day The Honourable Supreme Court of India tore apart this argument of Congress and unable to save (Hide) his face, the Prime minister bravely takes whole blame on him. Height of bravery and innocence; few people called it.
Than this day Honourable Supreme Court again blasts away the policy of government on Hasan Ali Tax issue and wanted to know why the government has been delaying the issue?
Enough is enough.
Has this government gone insane and the PM wild? Don't they see how many time they have been charged for intentional delay on sensitive issues and corruption? And don't they feel how shameful it is to be taken to the task by the courts and committees?
Is there any limil for shame for this government and prime minister?
With all my senses I want to convey : This has been the most unproductive, timid, stupid,cunning prime minister in the history of India. As an individual when very often I go through the frequent failure of this government; my blood boils. I feel let down and I want that; like so many other occasions; the Prime Minister should hereby take the responsibility for my health for not performing what was expected from him.
Sorry to say Mr. Manmohan Singh, you lost your respect in the eye of a very ordinary Indian who by misfortune can't harm you in anyway. Don't worry!
