Tehelka IS a Money-making Agency
by Rajeev Venkat on Nov 07, 2007 03:39 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Stop all this Big Talk! I cant see any service done by Tehelka, till date! They talk as if they are the ONLY Nationalists. The whole Media is Communist-leaning & completely manipulative & sensational. The Indian Media has for long been under the spell of the Congress & the Communist which is so obvious from their Reporting. They have fed on these Parties & obviously sing their tunes.

The Indian Media has very little credibility, try whatever they may. What is Tehelka trying to prove? Even if I assume that this Sting was in National Interest & to expose the Criminals behind the post-Godhra riots. But how can they go about potraying them as Hindus? Are the Terrorists for once branded as Muslims in any Media Report. Then why are you terming these bloody Politicians as Hindus?

I think the basic tenets & philosophy of Hinduism runs against the grains of Communists & hence the Media finds every possible way to demean Hinduism.

Any person will question on the timing. The incident happened more than five years ago, and why this was not done before? Put a hand on your heart and say that this has nothing to do with Gujarat elections. You can not. Because, the intentions are obvious.

Unfortunately we have misunderstood secularism as denying of religious identity. I agree with Rajeev when points to basic tenets of Hinduism.It is a secular religion which prohibhits conversions ( geeta chapter 2 )and respects other beliefs. Its BJP's brand of religion which is based on a theory of Akhand Bharat and not the religious scriptures which gives it a distorted view.
Being a Hindu means respect all religions but strong in your convictions. Its magnamious and has the ability to take other beliefs along with it. BJP/VHP is more based on Muslim bashing/ultra nationalism etc. all that which Hinduism does not stand for. BJP needs to understand what being a Hindu means !

Ajay does Hinduism means that every time Hindus are massacred the remaining Hindus must say thanks to the muslims and say We are secular. Dear this is not secularism. This is cowardness. Whatever happened after the Godhra Train Incidence was bad and painful but after all this was the result of the burning the bogie. Forget u can't understand all this.

Tehelka is funded by Congress. Tarun Tejpal's father is a Punjab Congress State Committee member.

Isn't it true that Tejpal's father was a close associate of Arjun Singh?

Isn't it true that Tejpal and his father were close to Singh when he was Governor of Punjab.

Isn't it true that Tejpal used to look after the publicity department of Tewari Congress of which Arjun Singh was the president.

Isn't it true that Manoj Prabhakar agreed to contest Lok Sabha election from South Delhi in the mid-nineties at the instance of Tarun Tejpal? The latter also used Prabhakar as a weapon to target Indian cricket, though in the end Prabhakar was also found guilty.

Isn't it true that Tejpal was used by Arjun Singh to launch a campaign against Narsimha Rao?

Isn't tehelka reporter Mathew Samuel a close associate of Tom Vadakkam, in-charge of the Congress media cell?
