Dalit man lynched to death in Barmer for having an affair with a Muslim girl. There will be no outrage and call for justice just because the aggressor, in this case, is a Muslim. This hypocrisy needs to be called out.

How come lynching in Bidar gets less airtime and the one in Alwar gets attention from all motormouths of prime time channels?

Four women get beaten up stripped in Mamata Banerjee ruled West state Bengal, and no one bats an eyelid. TMC members hypocrisy was on full display when they held a protest in front of Gandhi statue in the parliament over incidents of lynching. TMC members and the ruling dispensation downplay incidents of mobocracy in their state and their party supremo Didi preaches morality to other states.
This is how mainstream media polarises the national discourse. Established media houses today are the intellectual wing of the Congress party, ever ready to plant, amplify or propagate the propaganda desired by the dying patriarch!

It’s time to call out the hypocrisy of these politicians who would stoop to any depths to score political mileage.
