The media’s culpability is damaging India’s interests

Media culpability can damage a country’s interests. Two recent instances will suffice to illustrate the point. The media’s role in recent events triggered by a Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson’s remarks on Prophet Mohammed has received less attention than it deserves. The focus has been on the offending spokesperson. There was mayhem across the land on account of a television news show. The tally of how much of a law-and-order upheaval a single show can cause is worth revisiting. Forget the diplomatic repercussions in 15-plus countries; it triggered protests in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Ranchi, Ahmedabad, Navi Mumbai, Ludhiana, Hyderabad and Jammu & Kashmir. Two people died early on and over 250 were arrested across Uttar Pradesh.

It created havoc in West Bengal, with protesters taking to stone-pelting, setting police vehicles on fire, and damaging public property. Internet services were suspended and prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code imposed. The deaths were in Ranchi where two victims succumbed to gunshot wounds after the protests turned violent. Over the days, the protests multiplied, and the repercussions from these protests then led to the bulldozer demolition of an activist’s house in Prayagraj.
