Counterpoint

Digvijay Singh is back in news again, due to the remarks which he made on the death of Hemanth Karkare. Long back he was in the news because of his remarks on Naxalites and he was also in the news when he questioned the authenticity of the ‘Batla House Encounter’.

We have Padma Shri Barkha Dutt who gives good amount of time for Digvijay Singh on NDTV with her interviews. After 26/11, Mr. Antuley comes with his conspiracy theory over the death of Hemanth Karkare and it takes more than a F*****g week for Home Minister Chidambaram and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to pacify Mr. Antuley. Digvijay Singh talks about his views over Naxalism and Batla House Encounter with his good little smile on his face and replies to brilliant questions asked by Padma Shri Barkha Dutt. In a detailed interview on the ‘Batla House Encounter’ Barkha Dutt asks various questions to Digvijay Singh but fails to recollect one single important fact that the autonomous body National Human Rights Commission had given a clean chit to the Delhi Police over the Batla House Encounter. It takes less than common sense to understand why such so called ambiguity exists in the Congress party over sensitive issues, anyone who knows the power of the Congress HIGH COMMAND would never open their shitty mouths unless they are told to do so and accidentally? We find those views being aired on national news channels.

The recent cablegate leaks by Wikileaks have proven what the Internet Hindus and lynch mobs have been saying for very long time. "Hoping to foster that support for upcoming national elections, the Congress Party cynically pulled back from its original dismissal and lent credence to the conspiracy"~David Mulford . Digvijay Singh blames the BJP for the above comment, we understand that Digvijay Singh is not a tech savvy and misunderstood Wikileaks for Wikipedia.

Counterpoint


Its sad that Barkha Dutt and Vir Sanghvi are unfairly targeted by the Internet Hindus and Lynch Mobs by labeling them as #Barkhagate and #Virgate over the leaked audio tapes related to 2G scam, which is the biggest scam in the history of our country.

Barkha Dutt and Vir Sanghvi are recipients of the Padma awards for their contribution in the field of journalism. It is obvious that people who have received the Padma awards should carry some morals and ethics related to their profession, unfortunately the recent tapes have questioned the morality and ethics of Barkha Dutt and Vir Sanghvi.

Padma Shri Barkha Dutt who vehemently talks about morals, rights, wrongs, justice etc…is now a soft target for her detractors. People who know her contribution towards secularism and nationalism will never doubt her ethics but it is for those people who have questioned her journalistic ethics need to be answered, the best way to answer them is by giving away the Padma Shri title, because it would be a tight slap for the lynch mob and serves as the role model for many journalists and women in india. I am quite sure that Barkha Dutt who emulates the highest standards of morality and ethics will give up her Padma Shri award. I wish she would appear in more bollywood films and her role will be emulated in many films.
Below are the excerpts from the audio tapes which tried to malign Padma Shri Barkha Dutt.

“Oh God. So now what? What should I tell them? Tell me what should I tell them?”

"Congress ne tho statement thank god issue karva diya. Barkha ne karvaliya usay. It is not about individuals."

Vir Sanghvi who is also a padma awardee and is one the most experienced journalists in India, now a target of Lynch Mob. Vir Sanghvi who has generously shared his wisdom with the fellow Indians with his counterpoint column in the Hindustan Times is now being asked to prove his integrity. It’s a shame that Indians forget the good deeds done by others, the beautiful and thought provoking articles written by Vir Sanghvi like the one on Air India, Reliance Gas dispute, etc… and how can anyone forget the campaign instigated by him to deny the Padma award to Sant Singh Chatwal.

Its now necessary that Vir Sanghvi who stands for integrity and morality to act, as he is constantly being targeted by some who are jealous of his achievements, time has come for Vir Sanghvi to prove his integrity by giving away the Padma award and display to the whole world that he can go to any extent for his values.Below are the excerpts from the audio tapes which tried to malign Vir Sanghvi. Recently Taslima Nasreen accused Vir Sanghvi over twiiter saying..

Vir Sanghvi once wrote a column full of lies about me to serve the purpose of someone influential who wanted me to leave the country.

“What kind of story do you want?”

"I have dressed it up as a piece about how public will not stand for resources being cornered, how we’re creating a new list of oligarchs"

I hope Barkha Dutt and Vir Sanghvi will give away the Padma awards which will teach the Internet Hindus and Lynch mobs a good lesson and will stay as a testimony to their commitment towards journalism.
