Media and 26th Nov 2008 part 1



Media, the only powerful weapon ever used in the country! Nuclear energy may come into your mind, but it was the media who had more destructive power. You may not have forgotten what happened in 26th of November 2008. I have seen more number of reporters than commandos in t.v!! Fireworks in every channel I have seen, even the entertainment channels were busy to get the celebrities speak about the “event” and it had certainly increased their TRP rating!! But nothing could stop women watching their favourite serials! Round table conferences and one-table-many-chairs conference could not help in any means! Politicians rushed{many rushed to hold their seats tightly, many to their spiritual gurus, many to check whether their business premise and palace is safe and hardly anyone to the attacked place and homes of deceased},media exaggerated, tourists “amused” as usual and terrorist celebrated!!

Defense minister woke up, Prime minister opened his mouth, home minster skipped his cup of cerelac and media showed live attack day and night!!
It took another 10 days for politicians to realize that elections are near; hence chanakyas of every party pushed their candidates to homes of deceased to ensure their vote banks!! It was a sensational and revolutionary thought by parents of deceased Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan to restrict the admission of politicians to their home!!
Ajmal kasab and Pakistan trended worldwide, war of words started between Pakistan and India, foreign ministers kept busy with new press release/meet every hour, tourists evaporated from India, opposition party started seeking removal of PM.
