cpm was a deterrent factor for the n-pact between indo-us deal. so USA flared up the nandigram issue by doing massacre in bengal and kolkata. that way they were successful to make cpm go to backseat and US has been successful to get green signal from india to go ahead in the deal.
forget what the pseudo-secula media has to say for the post-godhra. but even for the godhra carnage, look at their reporting which was such a bad to instigate the normal hindus. immediately on the next day of the train carnage, i.e. 28th Feb. 2002 reporting by the eng media: (1) that there was a verbal fight between one tea vendor and karsevaks at Godhra rly. Station, that fight resulting in his anger and led to the gathered mob attacking the train. Media reported the incident as if the karsevaks were responsible for the mob's behaviour of burning the train, indirectly justifying the reaction of tea vendor and his group to the action of the verbal fight. (here action-reaction formula is justified by them but the same formula is not justified when the post-godhra outburst starts.) (2) some reported that there was some allegation of molestation of one woman at the station leading to the mob burning train and some rubbish thing. Even after passage of 6 months, when during the attack on akshardham temple, reporting by editor of one leading eng daily: "inspite of attack on akshardham temple and death of 'innocent' devotees (karsevaks were not %u2018innocent%u2019!), no riots took place. whereas, in post-godhra, %u2018at least%u2019 there was some fight between tea vendor and the karsevaks (to instigate the mob to burn the train)" thereby justifying the action-reaction theory for the mob burning the train. However, porst-godhra reaction is not justified by the same media.

In fact, the dangerous culprits in this case are the so-called educated pseudo-secular media ppl. For the the mob attacking the train, v can atleast say they were uneducated fanatics. But the media justifying reaction of burning train for the verbal fight is unthinkable. Can anybody enlighten, under the law of the land (CrPC), a verbal fight would get one how many months%u2019 jail, or whether it gets him sentenced to death, by court. Even a person killing some1 is not hanged to death by the courts. (not to think of some1 like afzal guru who inspite of being sentenced to death by court will be ultimately favoured for his mercy petition by the President). But here media says karsevaks deserved to be burnt for the verbal fight. If such is the reporting of the blind media making fool of general public, they need to be thrashed by one and all.
Dear friends, please ignore the messages of Ismail Sayyed, Contractor and Tatagatha Mukherjee. It is the same person using 3 IDs and spamming this board for the past several days!
It is a clear fact that only that region develops at best pace in which people live with peace and a feeling of security in themselves but in gujarat both this things are not available because one man in gujarat is not allowing it to happen. People here in the state have no faith in each other as Goverement is spreading feeling of hatred amongst them as they are not allowing all the religions to come togather. It is fact and we also believe that only NARENDRA MODI SHOULD WIN BECAUSE IF HE DOES NOT WINS THEN HE WILL REPEAT 2002 AND MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE IN THIS STATE. I request you to vote for MODI or else he will again kill hundreds of our minority brothers and sister and many young bloods of the majority will been put behind bars if we didn't support modi..

ROLE OF MEDIA
The Study Team received a large number of complaints against biased reporting, non-objective attitude and anti-Gujarat conspiracy of Delhi Media. The team felt it necessary to objectively observe and analyse the role of Media both regional and English language newspapers published from metropolitan cities. It also solicited comments about the role of media from about 500 persons with whom the members of the team interacted. The team's observations are:
1. Local and regional papers at times seemed to be emotionally surcharged and lost sight of objectivity. However, Gujarati newspapers, by and large, were factual in day to day reporting.
2. The editorial pages of local and regional newspapers maintained a balance in projecting all viewpoints.
3. Newspapers published in English from Delhi invariably editorialised the news. Direct and indirect comments in the news writing were so telling that the personal likes and dislikes of the news reporters were too obvious to be missed.
4. English language newspapers published from Delhi appeared to have assumed the role of crusaders against the State Government from day one. It coloured the entire operation of news gathering, feature writing and editorials. 5. The edit pages of English language press carried comments that clearly indicated biases: a. against the State Government of Gujarat, b. in favour of Congress, leftist parties and the secularist intellectuals, c. indifferent to the carnage at Godhra, d.

d. against the Hindu organizations, and e. against the NDA government at the Center.
6. Most of the national newspapers and news channels played down the of Godhra carnage and projected it as a result of provocation by pilgrims. Not many reporters were deputed to dig out facts or to do follow-up stories. This resulted in large number of editorials and articles that projected Godhra as a reaction to provocation by karsevaks' and riots in rest of the state as "state sponsored terrorism".
7. A distorted image of sectarian violence in the state was projected by the electronic and print media based in Delhi.
8. Repeated telecasts of arson violence contributed in spreading the tension to unaffected areas. TV channels ignored warning from officials and kept telecasting communal riots like infotainment.
9. Coverage of Machhipith in Vadodara is an example. One national news channel went overboard to telecast police firing at Machhipith as if it had taken place in Ahmedabad.
10. On 27.02.02 the Government of Gujarat announced a compensation of Rs. 2 lakh for the next of kin of victims of Godhra carnage. There were protests about discrimination between Hindu and Muslim victims and the Government announced on March 9 that all victims would get Rs one lakh. Yet, as late as the first week of April a Congressperson in USA cited a report in an Indian newspaper to accuse the Government of discriminating against minorities in the grant of compensation. The newspaper concerned did no

not care to inform its readers of the correct situation.
11. The code of ethics prescribed by the Press Council of India was violated by the media with impunity. It so enraged the citizens that several concerned citizens in the disturbed areas suggested that peace could return to the state only if some of the TV channels were closed for some weeks.
12. Media did not help to cool down the tempers. It failed to act as a platform for a dialogue between the Hindus and Muslims on the one hand and between the people and the establishment on the other.
The Study Team is of the considered opinion that the media in general failed to perform as conscious and socially responsible gatekeepers of information. It followed in the footsteps of an American journalist who said, "My job is to report the facts. I give a damn to the consequences".
Telecasting images that spread hatred and instigated violence is unhealthy, but their repeated telecast is lethal. The media acted as an interested party in the confrontation, not a neutral reporter of facts.
The team was alarmed at the intensity of hostile attitude among the people of the state for Delhi press and television news channels. This attitude was especially articulated by delegations of intellectuals like lawyers, doctors, and businessmen. Even the tribals complained that the media had no time to hear their tale of their agony and was spreading canards against the Hindus. ================================= JUSTICE TEWATIA REPORT ON
gujarat does not care for stupidity of caste politics obtaining in the good for nothing states of u.p. and bihar. people of gujarat of all hues will reject this nefarious entity called bahujan samaj which has always meant bahu dukh samaj. bjp in gujarat under modi is a true peoples' party. no gujarati ever goes to poll thinking about caste and they are going to reject the poison of u.p. without batting an eye.
everybody knows even sri krishna did not care for u.p. and preferred to live in dwarika.
BSP will be benefitted in Gujrat since the peoples of gujrat fed up with the hollow promises of the other political parties i.e. congress and BJP. they also come to know the hidden alliance of these two manuwadi parties. they will definitely choose BSP.
I think BSP will be happy if it get 15% to 20% vote share, with a few MLA's I think BSP will be happy if it gets 15% to 20% vote share, with a few MLA's Mayawati is grooming the state. BSP will rule Gujarat election after next election, either on its own or with alliance.
