Sena workers attack Mumbai IBN18 Network office: Are journalists a soft target now?

Sena workers attack Mumbai IBN18 Network office: Are journalists a soft target now?

TimePosted by IBNLive at 04:31 PM, Nov 20, 2009 | Updated at 04:39 PM, Nov 20, 2009 in India

In a brazen act of lawless behaviour, a group of 'Shiv Sainik workers' went on rampage, attacking the office of IBN18 Network office. This is not the first time that journalists have faced the fury of mobs. Are journalists increasingly becoming a soft target?

it wasnt surprising a bit to see a media house being attacked( ibn of all)...have followed cnn ibn from its early days.....the editor in chief MR.RS sounded helpless on air yesterday....and commented "attacked for fearless and honest journalism"...Mr.RS please look at the news that comes on ur channel...it is fearless but rude most of the times..it is honest but always subjective......have no idea of wat shivsena-sachin-ibnlokmath issue but....shiv sena(sainiks) shud be handled legally for their misadventures....but i guess the misadventures shud be realised by each eqaully.

Well... every Mumbaikar are soft targets for Shiv Sena and MNS.... I feel ashamed to see the things like this that goes on in My Mumbai..... Anyways as we all know that our state government is incapable to providing security ( see the plight of the soldiers protecting our city) we shouldnt trust them..... Now i expect the IBN office to file a case in the high court against the state government for not taking any effective action against the Shiv Sena for destroying their office... (btw Shiv sena has claimed responsibilty ... ) hope the state government wakes up .....

IN a Democratic country like India regional politics are playing more role. To woo the voters they divide people by language and caste. Dividing India by language wise is nothing short of splitting India into pieces. To please the illiterate people by igniting lingual politics is the cheap politics played by the Shivsena people. When Mr. Bal thackery visit abroad against the Nationality what he will write? will he write Maharashtrian or Indian? If he is writing Maharashtrian it is well and good as per his politics. If he is writing Indian he should not speak about Maharashtrian or Bombay is for Maharashtra and only Mumbaities are eligible for job opportunities. He has to change or mend his ways in the near future or the days are numbered for him, if not today it is certainly tomorrow.

Law and order in this country are mockery . Whoever can do what ever they want , It's a Bannana republic . Instead of republic of India , we should call it bananna rebublic of India.
Law and order is meaningless words in this country . Why blame poiliticians .It's the sentiments of Marathio Manoos that they are showcasing . In case marathi manoos was against voilence MNS would not have got 13 seats .

Shiv Sena have acted like goons and their violent means are totally unjustified. However, you need both hands to clap. Your news channel too is guilty of favouritsm towards a certain party. As long as you continue this stance, there will always be a section of society who will oppose you. Within them, their shall be people with a violent streak. As educated responsible journalists, you must be neutral as far as possible towards your profession. Democratic India depends upon a free media and the media must never take sides.

Though I condemn attacking journalists,we must introspect whether IBN has been free and fair.

It's no rocket science to figure out that they are heavily biased towards the Congress.
Even the slightest error on part of parties like the BJP and Shiv Sena is highlighted and made a big issue.
But they go on glorifying the Congress and the Nehru-Gandhi family.
The channel has provoked the Shiv Sena for years with their biased news reporting. They were bound to get it back some day.

I think its high time indian citizens stop paying for VIP security cover for our netas. When we are not secure why should they be. Netas should be made to pay for their own security, traffic should not be stopped for their conveys. We treat our netas like modern day demi gods, no wonder they take us for granted. Let them live insecure lives like us, they are here to "serve" us right? But looks like we forget that and we let them "rule" us. Time to change our mentality and take away all the perks the politicians get now a days.
