Hyderabad, August 26: Throughout the day the umpteen number of TV Channels were blaring and blazing with the coverage of condolence meetings for the victims of Gokul Chat and Lumbini bomb blasts,on this day two years age, whereas the victims of Mecca Masjid of the same time are simply forgotten. Without even so much as a mention in most of the Channels.
They were both Hindus and Muslims in the Gokul chat and Lumbini Blasts but in Mecca Masjid’s, all were Muslims. The Police true to its colors has shown one sidedness in dealing with it, even the Media seems to be towing the Police line.
Throughout the day the TV channels were going full steam reporting the condolences meetings as if they had no other news in the world and the Channels seem to be competing with each other in repeating the news and all seem to have the same agenda of linking the Blasts with various Muslim Terrorist outfits, whose whereaouts no one seems to know exactly or can report with all surety. The anniversary came in quite handy for all the anti-Muslims lobbies and Hindu-Fundus to target and defame not just the presumed terrorist outfits but all Muslims in general. As could be gauged from watching the various channels, the representatives of the fundamentalist organizations had a field day in gathering at the spots and haranguing the crowds, blaming the usual list of Muslim-outfits and spitting fire and venom and whipping up communal hatred and passions among the crowds. The Police and the authorities seem to be hand in glove with these fundamentalists propaganda mongers and are only giving a fillip to them.
No thorough investigation seems to have been done nor have they got any concrete breakthrough and clue as to the Blasts by Police or the Intelligence . They have simply rounded up some innocent Muslim- Youth on mere suspicion and slapped charges of terrorism and anti-national activities. The police sincerity and seriousness could be assessed from the fact that the police have so far not found a single definite clue nor could prove any of their usual alleged, supposed or presumed charge with which the media goes vociferous immediately after such blasts. So far the police or the intelligence could not prove a single charge or allegation or provide any clue as to who were the ones behind the Blasts. That shows how sincere and competent the police is or is it the, real policy of the Police.
As Ramzan and Ganesh festivals have coincided in the same month, instead of fostering amity between the communities the vested interests and fissiasporous parties are fanning enemity and hatred between the communities. And the peace loving citizens of the city are faced with tension-ridden days ahead.
