In today's polarized atmosphere,it behooves our Press and electronic media to raise their standards,not lower it! It is essential to remain neutral and give different points of view a level playing field. Talk shows should be controlled so the subject is equally balanced between the Hindutva forces and equal number of counter arguments on the panel! I am surprised to find that even newspapers like TOI give headlines of only VHP pronouncements on attack on Hissar church, holding sexual exploitation of nuns a Christian culture and even Haryana CM saying the priest of the church that was demolished was luring Hindu youths by promising them brides!(TOI 17Mar). I may state that allowing "anaap shanap" statements must stop! You obviously cannot build a temple in a Gurudwara like in the Vatican? And plenty of Hindu Godmen are associated with rape corruption and other crimes. Good reporting would print incendiary headlines after getting a response from the said priest, and if the church was being built illegally. Further these statements are communal and no action is taken, neither the Press follows up!It is shameful that even someone like Julio Rebeiro who protected the RSS from insurgent forces in Punjab feels unsafe in his own country whom he has risked his and his family's lives to serve! NO ONE IS PERFECT. How long will the BJP live in denial?
