<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->One development in this week raised a serious question about approach and neutrality of Indian media. On 5th of March STF of UP police announced they have arrested one Imam of Allahabad in connection to Varanasi blast of 7TH March which took life of more than 20 people. Blast took place in Sankatmochan temple and railway station in varanasi .
STF started their interrogation with Imam from 26th of march but it was officially disclosed only on 6th of march when Imam of Phulpur of Allahabad with other five people was arrested in connection to twin blast.
After discloser of this news by UP police approach and neutrality of India media was on test ,but it is really unfortunate to find as they were unable to pass the test. Media personal can ask a question who were judging their role and who reached to conclusion of their failure. It was not any agency or political group which think like this it is common perception among masses that our media has become selective.
Electronic and print media who believe in sensitizing every normal incident as a national calamity why choose to ignore this big development. Electronic media thanks to news channels start organizing discussions on every matter whether it is related to phone tapping , Sonias resignation or sleaze cd ,refrained themselves from discussions on this matter.
Not even a single representative of secular political parties or cleric was invited in any of TV channels show to analyze this new emerging trend which contradicts claim of secular parties as well as Indian muslim groups that they have nothing to do with global Islamic jihad .
Role of media is under scrutiny now when third time within one year security agencies have arrested professional or religious muslim in connection to terrorist activities. Last year STF of UP police arrested one Muslim professional doctor which had his medical clinic in Vasant vihar in national capital Delhi. He was accused of cooperating with those terrorists who attacked Ram temple at Ayodhya.
In his confession to UP police doctor said he had a feeling of revenge in his heart after demolition of Babri majid in 1992 and Gujrat riots in 2001. When terrorists told him about their planning to attack Ram temple in Ayodhya ,he decided to help them.
Second incident when any professional or religious Muslim was held responsible for supporting terrorism was member of Haj house in Mumbai. When Mumbai police arrested this cleric in connection with Pakistan based terrorist organization Lashker-E-Toiba ,deputy home minister of Maharashtra R.R.Patil scolded police for disclosing his identity .
Now it is third time when professional or religious Muslim has been arrested in connection with terrorists. Unfortunately on every occasion media tried to put this news under carpet. Are they undermining threat of Islamic terrorism or they have fear of Muslim backlash or in last but not least they want to defend their secular theory that Indian Muslims are very good and they have nothing to do with international Islamic terrorist organization and global Islamic jihad.Â
  Everyone had in its memory how Kanchi Shankaracharya was trialed and crucified by media before courts decision in Shankarraman case. If Indian media is neutral and truly professional then why this mysterious silence in case of Islamic fundamentalism.
Mysterious silence of media is easily understandable.
 Big newspapers and TV channels are owned by big business groups who are more interested in serving their own interest rather than national. Every business group want to own a newspaper or news channel to create a pressure group against government simultaneously they do not want to follow any path which is any more different from beaten path. They have only one policy that they have no policy.
Their so called big editors live in air-condition rooms of national capital and want to impose their thoughts on country. If in their mind Indo-Pakistan peace initiatives are good for health of nation they start shouting in favor of peace processwithout sensing mood of country or without keeping in mind what people of nation expect or think on this matter. Same happens when economic issues comes. If big editors feel good with budget which reduces price of luxury cars or custom duty in wines they taken for granted Indian people as they also have feel good.
This is very dangerous phenomenon when so called opinion makers are totally unable to feel the pulse of nation and keep guiding policy makers. We have one incident before us how media matters a lot to our policy makers even judiciary also. After unfortunate acquittal of all culprits in Jessica murder case when media took this issue very seriously ,apex court seemed so image conscious in delivering its judgment regarding Zahira Sheikh. <b>Why I am calling this phenomenon dangerous because policy makers of our country still look towards media personnel for guidance and media is either unable to feel the pulse of nation or they are busy in imposing their will and theory on nation.</b>
Problem of Islamic terrorism is one of those problems to which media want to underplay. But this ostrich attitude and denial will not be able to stop proliferation of Islamic terrorism and its root cause.
After Varanasi blasts editor of Hindustan Times and hardcore secularist Vir Sanghvi warned media against ignoring real issues of Indian masses. But it was not suffecient enough to change secular media . They are still in fools paradise where they are denying Islamic terrorism.
<b>There could be one other possibility behind this denial. If these terrorist activities will be linked to global jihad, policy makers will have lot to do in finding out reasons and rooting them out.</b>
If this could one of distant possibility it indicates escapist approach of our policymakers .
Our secular establishment whether it is media or policymakers, lawmakers have proved them totally irrelevant and irresponsible .They do not want to take on Islamic terrorists and their cohorts .With their approach they are only encouraging more and more attacks and bending their knees before jihadi forces to give them free passage. If we keep on denying fact that Islamic terrorism is global phenomenon and Indian Muslims are vulnerable to become part of this global campaign we will invite more trouble to us .
Major organizations of international Islamic front an umbrella organization of different Islamic terrorist groups worldwide, founded by Osama Bin Laden in 1998 to fight against infidels has established their base in several parts of country and they have support of local Muslim population is a fact and it will always be a fact whether Indian media accept it or not.
Imam Waliullah who was arrested from Allahabad in coonection to Varanasi blasts confessed before UP police that he was area commander of eastern UP of Harkat-ul-jihad-Al Islami a branch of Jaish and Al-Queda which operates from Bangladesh.  He also traveled Bangladesh and Pakistan to get training from terrorist organization like Lashker and Jaish. HUJI is a Bangladesh based terrorist organization which is a branch of Jaish E-Mohammad and belong to Deobandi school of thought which believe in violent Jihad. Deobandi school of thought has its headquarter in India .
But this Darool Uloom Deoband madrassa never come under scrutiny of security agencies or media political parties always portrayed it as major patriotic organisation instead.Darool Uloom Deoband madrassa is paramount inspirational force behind global jihad which produced major terrorists including Massod Azher of Jaish, Mullah Umar of Taliban.
When 9took place in America and an inquiry commission was formed to go into the details of this incident , commission concluded that attack on twin towers should be analyzed in its totality .Commission suggested two tier war against this global phenomenon . On the one hand network of Al-Queda should be demolished physically simultaneously propagation of this poisonous ideology should be stopped . Findings of this commission is very much relevant in Indian context also. We should also fight against this phenomenon militarily and ideologically both .
<b> Unfortunately our so called forth pillar of democracy media is neither cooperating nor encouraging this fight. Whenever harsh acts were made to curb terrorism media played lead role with so called human right activists and liberals to witdraw these acts on the ground of misuse and discrimination </b>of those acts .At the same time media never pointed fingers towards radical nature of Muslim seminaries and syllabus of their madrassas.On the contrary they always supported Muslim atrocity theory which Islamic apologists use to justify terrorist acts of Al-Queda and other terrorist organizations.
We are on war with Islamic terrorism. Islamic terrorists have launched a full fledged war against our faith and sovereignty.  If we want to win this war we have to fight it in unity. Islamic terrorism can not be curbed without fighting against ideology of Islamic terrorism . <b>Selective approach of media is disaster in this war.It is high time for media to introspect in this matter otherwise it would be too late.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
