Electronic media in India have become hysteric and paranoid after Hyderabad blasts. They are indulging in blame game even before any inquiry is done. They played a very corrupt role in the past as far as Muslims matters were concerned, and this time also, they are doing the same. If their stories are to be believed on face value, there would be no need for any probe into the incident by any intelligence agency as the country’s overzealous and proactive media have already established the truth behind the blasts. There is also no need for the judiciary to play its role in bring the culprits to justice as TV channels have also already pronounced judgment in the issue.

Undoubtedly, media should play a positive role in exposing corrupt politicians in the country. But the way they jump to conclusions after every blast and start targeting one particular community without any proper investigation is both unfortunate and alarming. It is equally important for judiciary not to be influenced by media coverage. Judges should always be impartial while delivering the justice irrespective of the public opinion and media frenzy. — Anees Lokhande, Alkhobar
