Teesta Setalvad Minority Rights...Gujarat or elsewhere


Minority Rights...Gujarat or elsewhere
A mature democracy does not merely speak about numerical victories and numbers it should be concerned about the rights of the last, displaced minority...since the mid 1980s and 1990s when countries and nations saw that despite the existence of some constitutional safeguards majorities oftened turned on religious minoritoes,,horrific attacks on persons and propertries apart, a majoritarianism has crept into our Democracy that national parties who thrive on selective citizenship rarely acknowledge. The Sikh Farmer issue in Kutch falls squarely within this framework. The Gujarat government is willing to move heaven and earth, and spends crores of rupees on legal fees (all the legal eagles that spout support for M are NOT doing pro bono work!!!) and yet yje NOISY NEWSHOUR on Times Now, CNN IBN, NDTV is unlikely to debate this issue.
NO channels discussed what Dr Sen said about M "minorities experience fear with such a man"...Why ?
ALL CHANNELS dismissed the secular communal divide as sloganeering not even bothering to deal with the fundamentals that Our republic is based on..
Question for them this Monday morning...will they deal with the SIKH FAR<ER ISSUE IN KUTCH ? Will they call the displaced Sikh Farmer, Revenue Minister Anandibehn Patel, Collector of Kutch, former Minister Sureshb hai mehta and have the courage to DEBATE this issue ? If not why NOT ?
Partisan journalism is Poor Journalism........
