The Supreme Court has cery correctly observed that this “professor” is desperate for some “cheap publicity”. Of course he is being helped and supported by his “esteemed colleagues” – each one of them a hypocrite.
The Print is giving undue coverage to this incident. I have already seen quite a few articles on the arrest of this Islamist professor.
This stands in sharp contrast to The Print’s coverage of the anti-Hindu riots carried out by Islamists in Murshidabad. Days after the incidents had happened, The Print managed to publish two, at most three, articles on the egregious anti-Hindu pogroms (one of them by Sourav Barman, the other a photo-article). And it was shameless enough to not publish even a single editorial on this issue. The massive displacement of Hindu families from Murshidabad to Malda in search of safety was not even reported on.
One can easily imagine how the editorial board would have fulminated if the victims of the riots were Muslims. Just because they happened to be Hindus, things were brushed under the carpet.
Such instances show us, the regular readers of The Print, how genuine Mr. Shekhar Gupta’s claim of “un-hyphenated journalism” is.
People like Karanjeet Kaur are so predictable that it’s almost banal.
I knew right away that she would jump in and fight on behalf of Prof. Mahmudabad. Why? Well because the whole ecosystem has been activated. A single arrest and the whole cabal is up in arms. And Ms. Kaur happens to be a distinguished member of this cabal. Therefore, she would dutifully fight it out on the newspaper pages and social media platforms. The loyal foot soldier that she is, anything else would be anathema.
But the same Ms. Kaur is absolutely silent when Hindus get targeted, murdered and raped. She has not written a word on the anti-Hindu pogroms in Murshidabad. Neither on the anti-Hindu criminal (defacement of temples, etc.) activities carried out by Khalistanis in Canada, UK, Australia and USA. She was totally silent when Jihadis, under the garb of anti-Waqf protests, raped and molested women in West Bengal (with offical patronage of the ruling TMC government).
As a loyal footsoldier of the ecosystem she knows which battles to fight and which ones to pass by. And of course, all the while she enjoys the freedoms and liberties the Constitution guarantees an Indian citizen.
Unless the police officials who make such arrests are punished, such “punishing through the process” arrests will continue. Since he could afford a Kapil Sibal, he would be out soon. Whereas some others who might end up in jail for stating something in the similar lines through whatsapp status updates, etc wont have any option other than getting punished through the lengthy process.
