IBN mischievous reporting of PM and HM’s address at the CMs’ Conference on Internal Security

This entry is pertaining to IBN reports in PM’S Address at the CMs’ Conference on Internal Security. According to IBN

Apparently exercising caution in referring to rightwing groups, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today expressed concern over threats from various sources including religious fundamentalism while Home Minister P Chidambaram spoke about "new groups" that are suspected to be behind some terror attacks in recent years.

Then IBN goes on to mix their commentary with the actual news in such a way that the entire news is twisted out of context. IBN reports

Addressing a conference of Chief Ministers on internal security both of them avoided any direct reference to right wing groups which have recently come under the scanner over thier alleged involvement in cases like Malegaon, Samjhauta Express, Mecca Masjid and Ajmer blasts.

The fact is Manmohan Singh didnot make a single reference implicit or explicit on right wing groups. PM Manmohan Singh said

we all need to be conscious of the fact that serious challenges and threats – primarily from left wing extremism, cross border terrorism, religious fundamentalism and ethnic violence – still persist.

Then IBN also reports in same news

The Home Minister''s reference to saffron terror on an earlier occasion had created a controversy with BJP and RSS attacking him and some Congress leaders distancing the party from it. Both the NIA and the CBI have made considerable progress in busting the terror networks being operated by members of the RSS and other small Hindu groups who are allegedly involved in bomb blasts at Malegaon in 2006 and the Samjhauta train blasts.

Media Watch fails to understand what is the purpose of IBN dragging those issues into this news when  neither PM or HM made any reference to right wing groups?? Unless it was done with the the intention of misleading the readers

  1. You are doing a wonderful job of exposing the hidden agenda of a part of media , particularly news channels like the NDTV and CNN-IBN . Although they are thoroughly discredited , yet they think that they can manipulate people's minds .
