That is why, I think Arnab Goswami has a different level of credibility in the
tv media. Timesnow has always beena responsible media; only that it uis
becoming a one man show.

TIMESNOW has not shown any footage of the stripped woman but reported the news
with heavy condemnation. In fact Arnab Goswami has raised a very pertinent
question -
"HAS ANYONE TAKEN THE PERMISSION OF THE LADY BEFORE SHOWING HER NAKED PHOTOS ?
ARE WE NOT ADDING FURTHER INSULT TO THE ALREADY INSULTED POOR WOMAN ?"shantikam

I am sure if Homen Borgohain's Amar Axom would not have published the
photograph of the helpless woman first, anyone else would have dared to
republish it. Today Telegraph has published the same photo in a slightly
enlarged version. No doubt, when we try to accost the anti Assam media, they
would say that they have reproduced something from the Assamese media only,
what is wrong in that?That has been our problem. Our own media is so busy
sensationalising that they have not considered various aspects before going
ahead. For e.g. one paper has headlined that Bhaben Saikia's Arohan has been
badly damaged. Till now I am not sure how much of it has been damaged, has it
been vandalised? All that was required was to pick up the phone and ring up
Mrs. Bhaben saikia or any other opffice bearer but very few did that. I am sure
all genuine Assamese would be concerned about Arohan.

Friends,
Now the time has also came for review of Media like TV live,Newspapers and the
so called reporters which are mostly Bengale or Bihari operating from Assam and
the lone cameraman being Assamese origin.WE have encient newspapers like what
Late Radha gobinda Baruah established.However his expectations are no more.The
Assamese media or newspapers failed to make Assam a proud of India.Instead we
can easily see the infight to NRA or irritating them more by these
categories.Neiterh they lack behind the proper publishing languages or
skills.All are limited to make turmoil inside Assam and Axomiya in whole.Living
outside Assam, we fail to get the exact incidents or news.All we ned to depend
upon the so caled Bengal based reports or Delhi based reports given by the
Bengalee reporter.
Till now if any news to be given to any Assma so called leading
dailies/weekly/Fortnightlys, we have to mail by post.Nothing is availbale on
net or fast circulation outside the state.Why so the concerned news/media
management must look into.
I will give one simple example- Months ago I did protested strongly about
Swaheed Kanaklata issue against wrong misleading publication by Indian Coast
Guard.I did informed to Then Xabhapati Axom Xahitya Xabha Xabhapati Dr.Kanaksen
Deka.Nothing happened.Then I personally wrote to one of the known man at amar
Axom, it was published with heading on 08 Aug 2007.Later wrote with all
relevent letters to Prantik- what should be Dr Bhaben Saikia Sirs best
production.They took months and later my A4 size 5 page was converted to a
small para and published as a letter with no moral value!!! When I did caled up
to GHY ofice, I was only pleased with they get thousand of leters, so no time
to reply!!!This is what happens with Assam pride media.
Attacking us, we being outside singing for our home land is easy.Our fault is
Assamese.But its now time for our own media to wake up and look their own fault
and open voice with their strong thoughts.Please stop irritating us as what
ULFA cadres do!
I wish Assam based media coverages be fully with well versed people of Assam-
who know the root cause of anything.Not like AAjtak and NDTV to keep relaying
the whole nonsense clips to give more bad vision of Assam and its people every
day.
With RG Baruah pride, now Assam Tribune management must come up please with
good edition of web news and TV Channel.The so called ofice sitting TV
coverages must be prevented or be warned off any anti assamese relays.
Anyone ready??

Pradip Kumar Dutta is very fast in spreading canard.The incident was a highly
localised one. Only around Beltola tiniali to Dispur. Curfew was declared only
on that stretch not on the city. In fact only one death has been announced, and
that too in the hospital, so far. The clashes did not spread to Khanapara area
as stated. My elder brother who stays behind GNRC, and my elder sister who
stays on the road behind the MLA hostel did not feel any thing at all though
the happenings took place within a km of their residence.The whole thing is
very very unfortunate. I am sure the AASA leaders never thought it would go out
of hand.Also there has been maturity on part of the AASA leaders that they have
not talked about retaliation. Though the Telegraph sys that there would be a 36
hr Assam bandh on Monday, no other paper says so.It is no use blowing things
out of proportion or indulge in blame game. The spark has to be nipped in the
bud. I am aware of many people who got injured trying to prevent some people
whose shops were vanadlised becoming vey violent and bent on retaliation.
Everyone should reach out with balms of love and our century old tradition. At
our Institute, TCS was having interviews and till 2.00 pm we were not aware of
anything till there was a message from TCS Calcutta office asking the TCS
personnel to come back to Calcutta immediately because of riots in Guwahati. As
such they were catching the 4.30 flight from Guwahati and their interview had
finifhsed so they went to the airport by 2.15 pm. Then we found that the
national networks of the tv chnnels were cooking up stories sitting on their
studios and playing on the visuals being sent from Guwahati. As an Guwahatian I
am more angry at the media than ashamed of what has happened here.
