Why term ‘prestitutes’ is in circulation, and main stream media under attack on twitter again

Rupang Bhatt, Ahmedabad

Why this term ‘prestitutes’ is again in circulation and main stream media is under attack on number of twitter handles today? Well, there are three latest developments that you can’t ignore.

Biases of British newspaper Guardian against Narendra Modi are very old.

The latest is one Anish Kapoor’s opinionated article.

The article in Guardian is titled as: ‘India is being ruled by a Hindu Taliban’.

There’s flood of reaction to this story.

Delhi based TV journalist Rahul Kanwal has tweeted: Anish Kapoor has no idea of the horrors perpetrated by Taliban if he thinks India is run by the Hindu Taliban.

Another popular person on twitter Tarek Fateh tweeted: What an idiot. Anish Kapoor claims “India is being ruled by a Hindu Taliban.” Really? I am in India, tell me where?

Kartikeya Tanna tweeted: Dear unwashed masses of my country, Anish Kapoor, buddy of @OfficeOfRG (Rahul Gandhi)’s mumma9Sonia Gandhi), is saying you overwhelmingly voted Hindu Taliban to power.

Lot of people on twitter have dug out number of photographs linking Anish Kapoor to opposition Congress party leader Sonia Gandhi. Number of photos are in circulation in this connection all over twitter.

You can always question that what a bunch of photos of this author with Sonia Gandhi actually proves? Well, but for those on twitter, it seems the message is conveyed.

The ToI front page story:

Then there’s this ‘Times of India’ article which is placed on its front page and that too on top.

The article says ‘Sangh tweeter asks Myntra to withdraw cow hide items.’

Now interesting thing is that the said tweeter handle, the Times of India refers to Sangh’s twitter is actually not Sangh’s official twitter handle at all!

Sangh’s official twitter handle is different and it is marked as verified handle.

The handle which Times of India refers to mistakenly as Sanghs handle tweets: Account not official. Stop fake journalism and doesn’t matter leather importer or not, cow meat is banned.

Social media commentator Rahul Roushan tweeted: Now no need to find a random Sadhvi, just quote a ‘tweeter’ and get a front page news.

Referring to online shopping portal Mayntra’s mention in ToI front page headline, Roushan also tweeted: Although what I find more intriguing is Times mentioning a brand name on front page headline. Free PR was never their policy.

You must note that the handle which Times of India identifies as RSS official twitter account clearly mentions: ‘This handle is an independent initiative by RSS Swayamsevaks.’

Reacting to Times of India’s blunder, the official handle of RSS (which is RSSorg and verified by twitter) tweeted: We do not subscribe to the views expressed on “RSS_ORG as it is not the official twitter handle of RSS: – Dr Manmohan Vaidya

We do not subscribe to the views expressed on @rss_org as it is not the official Twitter handle of RSS :- Dr Manmohan Vaidya

Hassan Suroor

Now the third reason of outrage.

Be it ‘idea of India’ or ‘Award wapsi’ or other seasonal subjects, 65-year old journalist Hassan Suroor who regularly comes with stories against Narendra Modi has been arrested for paedophile charge. Hassan Suroor writes in The Hindu and Indian Express and Guardian.

Read the report: LONDON, An Indian-origin British journalist has been arrested by British Transport Police (BTP) on charges relating to paedophilia after a sting operation in London. Hasan Suroor was caught on camera as he was confronted by members of Unknown TV, organisers of the sting operation, while he allegedly waited for a 14-year-old girl on Monday. “A 65-year-old man has been charged with meeting a child following sexual grooming,” a BTP spokesperson said. Mr Suroor is set to appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court this week. According to reports, a member of the anti-paedophile vigilante group, Unknown TV, posed as a 14-year-old and allegedly solicited Mr Suroor on social media. Groups such as Unknown TV pose as minors on dating and social networking sites and watch for adult men who solicit sex with minors.

In this video Hassan admits offering money to a 14-year-old girl to buy condoms to have sex with her.

People no twitter are now digging out Hassan’s old anti-Modi tweets and making fun of it by adding humor shots.

However Tushar Gandhi on twitter argues: Tejpal(Tarun Tejpal) and Suroor are criminals but it does not have any bearing on their ability as journalists.
