Bengaluru: Congress sends Times Now and Republic TV reporters away from press meet


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Oct 18: In a surprising decision, Karnataka Congress turned reporters of two television channels, Times Now and Republic TV, away from its press conference held here on Tuesday October 17. National Media Forum representing the media bodies, sprang to its feet to register strong protest against this move.

This move of the Congress is expected to stoke a controversy. The incident took place at the press conference convened by state Congress working president, Dinesh Gundu Rao. Rao was to speak about the social media strategy of his party in preparation for the coming assembly poll.

Reports say that Congress party is peeved at the way corruption allegations against Robert Vadra are being handled and covered by these two television channels. When asking reporters of these two channels to get out, Gundu Rao charged both the channels of toeing the instructions of the ruling party at the centre. He accused these channels of working as per the diktats of the ruling party at the centre. "Media should be the mirror of truth, not of BJP," he quipped.

Dinesh said it is left to the centre to conduct the type of investigation of its choice against Robert Vadra, husband of Priyanka, who is the daughter of national president of his party, Sonia Gandhi. "In the last 41 months during which period Vadra was subjected to rigorous investigation, nothing objectionable could be found, both in Rajasthan and Haryana. It is proved that he is accountable and transparent," he argued.

Referring to allegations faced by Jay Shah, son of BJP national president, Amit Shah, as reported by the media he wondered why the Prime Minister is not ordering an inquiry against Jay Shah. He wanted the truth to come out in this case, and asked Amit Shah to vacate his position till his son's name of cleared. He urged the Prime Minister to lay bare his mind on this issue, as the populace of the country are eagerly awaiting to know his stand.

National Media Forum, which criticized the move of Rao in sending two of the TV reporters away, said that reporters are given the task of discharging their duties by completing the assignments given to them. Vijay Grover, president of the forum, said in a statement that involving individual reporters in the friction between political parties and TV channels is improper.

The forum said later that Dinesh Gundu Rao has since relented and assured to allow both the channels to cover its party programmes henceforth.

    Political parties are expected to show utmost tolerance towards the media. If Congress did this today, tomorrow BJP will also throw out channels that don’t support them. Then where will freedom of press stand? If a party feels a channel is biased or has reported wrongly, they have every right to challenge the authenticity of the report. Turning away reporters can mean the party is unable to face them or they are suffering from media phobia.

    Some channels are just for creating noise. the idea is the one who shouts the loudest is heard. if you repeat the baseless lies ( supported by arrogance and " Patriotic rhetoric with out ground reality or any truth ") become the ULTIMATE TRUTH all MUST follow....
    Some rattlers need to be true to themselves and to the jobs / business they do than to just be pleasers to powers of the day....
    True journalism is about presenting facts without opinion.... not looking through the tinted glass....and SURELY NOT SCREEMING THE LOUDEST.
    People will decide and people will judge. Media should only ne holding the torch and uncovering the veil and NOT PAINTING ANY COLOUR AND PASSING JUDGEMENT.

    Truth must prevail, media was the medium to bring out truth.

    Republic TV and Times Now, become so much involved with BJP party politics, that their only agenda, is to defame congress irrespective of what in hand. Let the channels run with a logo of lotus, which is BJP symbol and then do this sort of party politics, no issue. But, bragging on integrity something that is foreign to both chnls should not be allowed, till such time they do such voluntary disclosure.

    congress has done to ban them, further, they should avoid them in every forum. Ignoring the smudge they throw, until the time they have the courage to seek answers from BJP.

    The people of our country should boycott all the english TV channels as they have become Caged Parrots of the Govt instead of being watchdogs of our democracy. People are increasingly relying on social media to get the news and the truth. All these english TV channels namely NDTV, Times Now, Republic, CNN 18, Mirror today India Today are diverting peoples attention from burning issues facing the nation, and instead have been telecasting an overdose of Ram Rahim for the past few weeks and recently the release on Bail of Dr Talwars. Not a word about BJP ruled states and only adverse news about opposition ruled states states. A Pathetic state of our media that has lost its conscience.

    Everyone knows Times Now and Republic. They are paid channels by BJP. I have seen the way which Times Now conducts it's debates. It allows BJP goons to talk and when others speak they try to stop and don't allow others to speak. Sambhit Patra is favourite of Times Now and the anchor Navika Kumar acts as if she is doing a great job by suppressing opposition voice. It is better if I don't talk about rubbish channel like Republic TV. These channels are biased and should be boycotted. These channels act too smart and always show one sided story.

    Dear Ronald,
    Times Now was invited by Dinesh GOONDA Rao for press conference, same time they expose Vadra in their channel, and Goonda Rao called joker to ask permission to conduct press conference, and he said, scam happend so we cant knowck court door, better avoid questions from these people.

    and finally they decided to avoid after inviting them.

    Also CM planned to begg with silver plate after election and media people spoiled finally CM decided to give aluminium plate to every congress MLA.

    every one asking why modi didnt gave statement on Jay shah, let me ask you. did any of Media asked question with modi? a big no,
    Even if ask also no need to give answer as Jay defends himself in court, But But ...

    Either congress answer or go to court.......

    one more thing, in BJP won Muncipal poll in Manipur, and i congratulate all congress men that this will be last election poll to Rahul Gandhi as Vice president of Party as there is no more poll result coming in next 1-2 week.

    Gujarat and Himachal pradesh poll loose will be opening for him as Party President so this one is last as VP.

    Dear Congress leaders and supporters
    Please note following points about the News Channels which I have been observing since past several years
    1. Both Times Now and Republic TV Conduct their Debates depending on the issues and feedback given by general public in various social media like twitter,facebook,whatsapp and blog spots .If the Social media view on a particular topic is for Congress they will give more importance to Congress If more towards Modi-BJP they will give importance to Modi-BJP .because ultimately they know its those active in Social media who watch English News Channels .So instead of banning them make structural changes in your policies so that people will support you in Social media which in turn leads to support from Times now and republic Tv
    2.NDTV will always support you dont worry
    3.Hindi News Channels just want masala .If your party has more masala they will show you more .So Create Masala like Gold biscuits ,Honda Bhagya etc
    5.India Today is balanced because I feel they support Communist ideology
    6.CNN is business oriented if you bring out business support policies they will support you

    when I wake up in midnight It was morning, and I search for meaning of Intolerance and Freedom of Expression in my dictionary , I could not found same.

    in Digital world these 2 words disappear some times.

    as all claiming these 2 channels are boot lickers of BJP, supporter of BJP and many more

    my question is if so, Why Dinesh Goonda rao invited them for press conference?
    is this culture of India that insulting after inviting??
    I saw video, even reporter asked for reason, but Dinesh failed as he is just following order from Putgosi high command.

    There were allegation against Jay shah, he knocked door of judiciary, as he is confidence of coming out clean, but here they are talking only with some media who is just following command from high command, it means they are avoiding question.

    Moral of storey is, Dnt question us, and print what sent from Top boss.

    Guys u decide.. now why Congress is not liked and not reaching people..!!.. Coz they are banning the top 2 News channels in India.

    if @ some point of time they don't accept the ground reality and keeps doing their chamchagiri.. they are doomed and out of political landscape of India.

    Commentators here are biased based on affiliations and hatred to BJP and love for Congress.

    Well this is my fair analysis... I think Congress should exist and be constructive opposition.

    Did at any point of time BJP boycott the news shows?? Congress does and don't attend news debates in above 2 channels.

    I think they are losing..... due to non representation.

    Yesterday Times India full day, they were airing news about Robert Vadra's ticket of 7 laks rupees issues based on email. Any email can be tampered. Such big channel, even 10 seconds adverstiment is more than 10 laks but they were airing 7 laks air ticket. If it is few crores, it is understanadble. Such is the standard of the news channel.

    I had watched TIMES NOW channel 3 days back about Vadra ticket scandal. Some of the panelist asked the Anchor, for a person of Robert Vadra, do you think he will go for 7 lakh benefit from a agent in 2012 comparing his biz dealings. 3 panelist aired their opinion and even I felt the same, as viewers.

    I do business and understand what is Rs. 7 laks. I have raised a question, Why TIMES NOW raising the Robert Vadra's 7 laks air ticket issues now which was 2012 issue. Is they raised issues like 3 G scams, land dealing worth crores, agreeable. 10 seconds adverstiment cost in National channel might be more than 7 laks.

    Every penny which is Scam or corrupt should be answerable. But comparing the level of cost, it leads to lot of doubt. Some are prejuidice, which I am not.

    Why BJP government is silent on Vadra and Sonia's corruption? They were racking up the issue only at the time of election rallies. Why BJP government hesitate to take action against Vadra or Sonia? CBI is under BJP Government, courts are under BJP government and there are lot of spokespersons in BJP who support BJP corruption like Piyush Goyal defending Jay Shah. What does the railway minister to do with Jay Shah? Just bootlicking of Amit Shah and Modi. Coming back to defamation case, just because you file a defamation case you don't become saint and Amit Shah knows how long this case will be lying in court and we all know the Indian judiciary. And while writing in hindi, write proper hindi. Don't just scribble just for the sake of scribbing and using capital letters shows you don't have basic manners of writing.

    Now I am sure, you all blind bhakths watch only these two channels which didn't show the income tax raid on NDTVs Pranob Roy's office and house for asking another long tongue feku Spokesman of Bhrasta Janara Party Sambit Patra out from their channel debate. The very next day there was raid on Pranob Roy's house. Who do you say for this Shettre ? Height of hypocracy by real blind bhakths of BJP.
    Advise to all Andh Bhakths, to know India better start watching other channels also, don't stick onto these fake channels and try to come out from Feku world.

    In the early stages of 2010-12 times , we used to watch the expose episodes in disbelief. it was difficult for us to believe as to how can a national party kept itself busy in looting every single day in every single opportunity.

    Now it is not disbelief but mere disgust on how our entire tax money was looted, and poor are kept in hunger dying. shame on us for voting them for all these decades.

    I wonder whether you read the report of a 11 year old girl student dying of hunger, can you be specific as to which decades she died?

    Imagine after collecting all the SWACHH BHARAT CESS our great leader is calling upon each and every taxpayer to clear his own mess. Wonder what happened to all the SWACHH BHARAT CESS money that is still being collected to buy mass cleaning machinery and equipment?

    Our system is lethargic.. the ration shops are mostly run by congi goons.. bjp has failed to influence people at the bottommost rung.. and the rogue system where our tax money spent on pilgrimage for some privileged one, or for illegal immigrants, while keeping our own poor are hungry is inexcusable.

    There is an overwhelming support around the nation for congress action against these two channels.
    Times Now and Republic TV.

    People are fed up of the anchors, reporters and editors of these channels tweaking and twisting facts. Nation wants to know the truth, but these two channels are selling their own selfish agenda to promote BJP, cooking up stories.

    Was it not worthy of any debate Amit Shah son's sudden wealth generation from 50K to 80crore in 3years, in a idle bank account? Instead the channels are running after 2012 Vadra story that is debated already a million times and despite BJP in power done nothing. In either way BJP incompetency and corruption had to be debated, which these channels dont have guts to speak of.
