Surgical Strike of Indian Media.

Journalism is the white collar and most respectful profession across the Globe.  But this profession is also become the playing cards of politicians and Government. Government is playing the trump card on the support of Media at the proper time to get the favorable result in its favor. Media can prepare and destroy the mind-set of public.  Journalists and editor taking care about the news stuff which should not destroy the flavor and prestige of government.  They are paid for the favorable commentary in favor of government and politicians.

Since last one week Newspapers, TV channels are abundance of news stuff on the surgical strike conducted by the Indian Army on PoK. International Media houses including UN have got suspicion on the version of India.  Pak Media openly denied the Indian theory of surgical strike.  If at all any strike conducted by Indian Army then Indian Government should produce the proof in Parliament or Prime Minister or Home Minister should give statement in Parliament if any strike is conducted by Indian side.

Episode of Surgical strike is politically motivated.  When Congress was in power and BJP was in opposition, BJP put Government in witness box for not taking any harsh action against Pakistan for the martyrdom of Indian soldiers, BJP used to teach lessons to Congress Government 100 heads in lieu of 10.  Now scenario is change, BJP is in power and Indian soldiers are still achieving martyrdom.  BJP was in acute pressure and worried after the URI attack and listening the sounds for revenge across India and Indians living abroad.  If story of surgical strike would have not planned the prestige of BJP would have become same as Congress.

In this all episode Indian media is paid to highlight such types of unproductive issue to save the prestige of Government and it will remain alive up to UP election,  because this issue is politically motivated.  BJP and its master Modi wanted to get the advantage for the game which has not been played.  Image of Government was badly affected after Uri attack and BJP government under the leadership of Modi who considered as the tough, hard and action taken Prime Minister started losing the mandate which can affect the UP election.  BJP already lost Delhi, Behar, West Bengal, Kerela and out from the skirmish.  So the story of surgical strike cooked.
