Media
has always been at the upfront of this Jan-Lokpal movement from April last year
and became a part of this movement in Aug, 2011. It may be because of TRP or
media activism that media left its role from being sceptic about the movement
and started narrating the movement rather than just reporting. My question is
that what was wrong for media being a part of movement in national interest? Is
it a conflict of interest in being a journalist and Indian citizen? I strongly
feel that what is right is right whether you view as a journalist or a citizen.
What Team Anna has to keep in mind while this movement is in its youth days is
that you cannot criticize a group of section for not supporting the movement.
It is their rightful duty to report the movement, but if they fail to do so,
may be due to their own unwillingness or govt. pressure, it is sad part of
story. You cannot convert this story into actions against media mogul.
Low turnout at Jantar-Mantar may worry Team Anna, this year. If our movement is morally right, then we don’t have to depend on someone else be it media, low turnouts, blackouts, etc. At some point of time, I feel that let the common people suffer because they are so agnostic about change that they don’t even come out to participate in movement or ideologically support it. Team Anna is not fighting for themselves, why the citizens of this country don’t understand this? Their thought narrows down this movement of considering Team Anna’s movement. The Indian people, mostly the educated class is kind of oblivious of society. The reality show happening in the entire country is teaching us the big lesson. India is on the crises of change, all that matters is citizen, media and civil society’s support.

Each
movement leaves its footprint on the sands of time, and I believe this time it
will not remain merely the footprints, they will rise and go beyond that,
creating a paradigm shift. Recent announcement at Jantar-Mantar visualizes team
Anna’s sagacity to look forward, as they aim to establish a people’s party, a
political alternative. What we can do is wait and watch the show as Team Anna
enters into the next stage of democratic procedure.
