What About The Media?

The Congress is blaming the BJP, The BJP is blaming AAP and AAP is blaming both Congress and BJP over the suicide of farmer Gajendra Singh at the AAP rally.

One player missing in the blame game is the media.

There were many journalists present when Gajendra Singh started climbing up the tree. All of them were busy recording his footage and none bothered trying to take any steps towards rescuing the poor farmer.

In fact, when Gajendra Singh fell down and the suicide note slipped out of his pocket, the journalists made a mad rush to be the first to get possession of the suicide note. And then they carried headlines screaming that the farmer’s life was lost despite the presence of so many policemen at the rally.
