Besides the great names, there is one and he is Lutyens media's favorite - Kanhaiya Kumar, a JNU alumnus. He was famously accused of flashing his penis at a woman who objected to his urinating in public. He was fined Rs 3000 after he was found guilty in a formal inquiry initiated by the university.
Rona Wilson. He is accused of planning a Rajiv Gandhi type assassination plot to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his road shows in the run-up to 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Shehla Rashid, a parasite, who makes a living by spreading fake news to sow seeds of hatred on religious and caste lines. She is charged with collecting lakhs of rupees for Kathua rape and not handing over the amount to the victim’s family.
Despite all this, these virulent rats are still hero worshiped by hypocritical journalists like Michael Angelos and Bakait Pandeys (Rajdeep Sardesais and Ravish Kumars), whose only agenda is to browbeat Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his policies.
Distasteful history
From being listed as one of the most prominent educational institutes to being one of the most controversial universities in India, Jawaharlal Nehru University has come a long way to oppose Modi government on almost all issues.
The journey, began in 2016 when university administration and students locked horns over holding an event against the hanging of parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, though the administration denied permission for the event.
However, the students held a debate on February 9, 2016, during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised, leading to several university students charged with sedition charges.
In an act of hooliganism, the students, in March 2019, confined Vice Chancellor Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar's wife inside his residence after they broke into the house to protest against his decision to ban protest in vicinity of administration block.
A few months later, the students launched a protest against JNU's decision disallowing posters or writing slogans for any protest, terming it as an attempt to stifle their right to expression. However, the university's intention was to stop defacement of its property.
Even as the heat over this controversy had not subsided, the students opposed the hiked fee structure for hostels and confined a female associate professor in a classroom. She was rescued by police after a harrowing 20 hours of confinement.
Thereafter, the students resorted to vandalism by desecrating Swami Vivekananda's statue by unidentified assailants and writing abusive words below it, directed towards right-wing ideology and BJP government.
Later, a media team belonging to IANS was assaulted by these goons on November 12. They also assaulted JNU's women security officers on November 14.
They also manhandled a Zee News reporter and made lewd remarks against her. Amidst chants of "Zee News murdabad" and "Hindi media murdabad", these 'uncles and aunties' manhandled the reporter. Similar was the treatment meted out to eight women reporters of Hindi news channel Sudharshan News.
The selective silence
The students also attempted to silence Republic Media Network by turning off its microphone during a press conference held by them at JNU and none of the lefty-liberal brigade and Lutyens media came forward to condemn these act of hooliganism.
The silence over these unruly behavior of the students even against women reporters exposes their political agenda, tacitly backed by the Congress and the left parties, besides so-called liberal intelligentsia.
They have completely ignored the outrageous conduct of the 'students' and not condemned vandalisation of Swami Vivekananda's statue which is scheduled for inauguration at the university.
Hypocrisy is thy name of these set of divisive journalists. Hundreds of journalists, in February 2016, had marched towards Supreme Court demanding action against lawyers, who allegedly had beaten up journalists and JNU students gathered to witness the presentation of JNU Students Union President Kanhaiya Kumar arrested on the charge of sedition.
The much-needed change
It is high time for them to re-invent themselves. They are unable to understand the reason for the voters dumping their style of journalism like putrid food, election after election.
They have failed to initiate a genuine campaign against the current government because of their infatuation towards rabid and repeated slogans of "RSS, Church attack, Intolerant India, Award Wapasi, Cow Slaughter, Lynching, MeToo and Domestic Slowdown, Rupee Depreciation, Deflating Consumer Sentiments, GDP Growth", which hardly evince interest in voters to defeat Modi.
They had underestimated the impact of toilets, cooking gas and electricity in villages, which had changed the aspirations of rural masses. They also failed to acknowledge the success of universal healthcare, crop insurance and Mudra loans, which made greater sense to farmers.
Realising and understanding the politics of Modi can be a good starting point for the Lutyens media.
But, the problem all along has been their bet on the wrong player and team — Congress, led by empty pots Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, who make most of the noise, with the full backing of another set of empty pots - the Lutyens media and the Left intelligentsia.
