Another Ram Rahim parole shows BJP’s hypocrisy over Kolkata rape, Bengal’s mishandling
Ram Rahim gets a 21-day break again. The convicted rapist is getting a free rein, having already received 234 days of parole and furlough in four years – all in BJP-ruled states. This speaks to the sheer hypocrisy of the party that is outraging over the Kolkata rape and Bengal’s mishandling.
When the head of government does this, it sends a very calming, reassuring message to the minorities.
The Print seems to have a thing for the TMC and it’s supremo Ms. Mamata Banerjee. The Print took great umbrage at Mr. Adhir Chowdhury’s tirades against Mamata/TMC during the general elections. It unequivocally supported Mr. Kharge’s ultimatum to Mr. Chowdhury. Also, The Print, quite deliberately, avoided reporting on the post poll violence unleashed on BJP workers in Bengal. And it has championed the likes of Mr. Derek O’Brien and Ms. Mahua Moitra – utterly irresponsible leaders with a knack for shouting and unruly conduct in the House. When Ms. Mahua Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha a few months ago, Mr. Shekhar Gupta did a full CTC episode trying to justify her unjustifiable misdeeds.
All in all, The Print seems to be on the rolls of the TMC.
