Surat: The self
obsessed Indian mainstream media channels did not find it fit to include the
massive United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF)
report which lambasts India for allowing impunity for violence by 'Non State'
actors committed on religious minorities.
The U.S. Commission on
International Religious Freedom warned of growing abuses of Muslims,
Christians, and other religious minorities in India in its 2020 annual report
released on Tuesday. This year, the commission added India to its Countries of
Particular Concern list for the first time since 2004. The country’s ruling
Hindu nationalist party instituted citizenship policies in January that USCIRF
said could leave the country’s religious minorities, especially Muslims,
without legal protections. India also continues to enforce anti-conversion laws
and fails to protect Christians from mob attacks.
The Indian Media as usual, could
not decide what to do. One on hand they cannot get the establishment angry by
supporting the report as the government is still to come out
of 'India's Friend' DOLAND Trump's recent 'Namaste Trump' visit to
India on the other, they cannot even condemn the report as from heart they know
that the findings are quite close to the truth.
As usual, there is a complete black
out on the report. Most of the channels are busy with their Thali Bajao- Ghanti
Bajao Fever apart from their daily capsule of Tabligi Jamaat and Corona
Lockdown stories. No airtime, they could spare for important reports like this. As if the news content comes filtered from top notches not belonging to the news industry. The channels, it seems, are just following the orders regarding the editorial content.
