Kapil Mishra nails down media houses on ‘fake news’ on peace march





It has now come to light that the reports in three national dailies on Sunday–Indian Express, Hindustan Times and The Hindu–on the alleged “Goli maaro slogans” raised in peace march of BJP leader Kapil Mishra on Capital streets could have been “fake news.”

Indian Express led its Delhi edition of Sunday (March 1, 2020) with a front-page screamer: “Goli Maaro slogan is back as Kapil leads ‘peace’ march”. Hindustan Times led a similar pitch with headline:  “Goli Maaro  slogans at march attended by BJP leader Kapil Mishra. The Hindu didn’t use “Goli maaro” in its headline but struck its own constructed note with the story: “Inflammatory slogans” raised during the same rally.

These three “fake news” were uncovered by Kapil Mishra himself in a video interview to famous social activist Madhu Purnima Kishwar (see video section) with some pertinent questions of his own.

Alleging that a few newspapers, such as mentioned here, were intent on establishing a false narrative, Mishra pointed out that these media houses were not showing images or videos to back their claims.

“May be they don’t want to show `Vande Matram’ or `Bharat Mata ki Jai’ the slogans which were raised in the rally,” claimed Mishra. Further, Mishra pointed out that police accompanied the peace rally all through its duration, implying that such slogans wouldn’t have escaped censure had they been raised.

“It is the agenda of a few channels or media houses to project blame only on one community…and this agenda they have been following assiduously,” said Mishra.  The BJP leader further said that it defies belief that one who has been shown to stock “petrol bombs” or “acid pouches”, namely Tahir Hussain of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has almost been given clean chit by these agenda-driven media houses while he has been made a scapegoat.

A few things, on closer analysis, raises very serious questions on the manufacturing of the fake news on the peace march.

The Indian Express story shows its bias and machinations in the headlines itself. It says “Goli Maaro slogan is back as Kapil leads ‘peace’ march”. The headline is constructed in a manner which seems to implicate Kapil Mishra and the rally with the slogan without quite linking the two. It’s like “I fit into my suit; my suit fits into my suitcase, so I fit into my suitcase.” Further, by putting the word “peace” within brackets, Indian Express tries to mislead its readers by implying that the march was anything but peaceful.  Hindustan Times is similarly inciting while The Hindu is more camouflaged in its description.

It’s interesting that The Times of India doesn’t blame Mishra and the peace rally for “goli maaro” slogans. It’s been treated as a separate story in the Times of India where it mentioned a few young people had raised “goli maaro” slogan near a metro station in the Capital. In no way, Times of India links these slogans raised with the peace rally Kapil took out in support of victims of “Jehadi violence.” They were two separate incidents which were treated separately by the newspaper.

As things emerge, one could construct the unfolding of events in the Capital on Saturday. One, that Kapil Mishra took out a peach march in support of people who suffered due to Jehadi violence in the city, which trended as #DelhiAgainstJehadiViolence on social media. Two, “Goli maaro” slogans were raised by a few individuals in a completely unrelated event near a metro station in the Capital. The two were separate events. To stitch them together in a bid to frame Kapil Mishra and shift the focus from Tahir Hussain who is on the run, such “fake news” was manufactured in the toxic lab of a few media houses.

A logical question which would be uppermost in the mind of readers is: If “Goli Maaro” slogan wasn’t raised during Kapil’s peace march, how come it was mentioned by not one but three newspapers? Valid question but only by innocents who don’t know how the Left-Liberal cabal controls the media houses in this country. They pull the strings of a few media houses who only amplify the narrative set by their masters.
