Mangaluru, Oct 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned themedia trial' in connection with the murder case of RSS worker Ruredresh, who was hacked to death on October 16 in Bengaluru.

sdpi“Even though the case is still in the investigation phase, some media houses with vested interests, to increase their TRP, are jumping to conclusions,” stated a release issued by there SDPI.

The release said, with the focus on "Freedom from hunger & freedom from fear", SDPI is tirelessly working for many years to uplift the backward classes, the Dalits, minorities and the exploited classes.

“SDPI being a political party which has total trust in the democratic system strongly condemns the killing of any human being. With total compliance to the secular nature of our constitution and in accordance to the election commission rules, SDPI has been gradually consolidating its vote bank which consists of victimized masses who earlier never had an option. This perhaps is not going down well with some communal minded parties who thrive on polarization in the society.”

“Before the RSS and BJP clamor for the blood of parties opposing them, they should revisit their own history. From the assassination of Mahathma Gandhi which happens to be the first terrorist attack on the soil of independent India to the murder of Praveen Pujari in Kundapura and also being accused in the many murder cases, they lack credibility to make such claims.”

“To mention a few such media manipulations - in Dakshina Kannada district, in the case of the serial killing of 20 Hindu girls, the RSS accused Muslim organizations. Finally, a teacher named Mohan Kumar was arrested in the serial killing. In the case of the murder of Harish Pujari in Bantwal, they tried to tarnish the image of SDPI. Finally, the investigation revealed bajrangdal's MithunKalladka&Bhuvith Shettywere arrested along with 3 other people.”

“In the Tipu Jayanthi celebrations in Madikeri last year, in the case of the death of VHP worker Kuttappa, a murder case was registered against our local leaders. The police investigation revealed that Kuttappa, running away from the commotion, slipped and fell to his death. This lead to the murder case against the president of SDPI city council being dropped and the case closed. On the same day fascist goons who were trying to cash in on the chaos shot an innocent Muslim youth by name Shahul Hameed leading to the arrest of RSS leaders Kavan, Bheeshma and Ramesh.”

“SDPI denies any connection between the case of Rudresh's murder. SDPI continues to defend that its name is being dragged into the case as a part of a larger political conspiracy to tarnish the image of a political party which is quickly popularizing as a pro-people's party in the political front,” the release said.

RSS has the history of carrying out terrorist activities all over India, scores of their members died while preparing/storing/transporting explosives in Kerala and elsewhere.

Mangalore, Jun 3: One man was arrested by the Crime Branch of city police from Mangalore for allegedly having links with gangster Ravi Pujari, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Sandeep Patil said on Wednesday.

According to the police, the man identified as Ghulam has been sent to 10-day police custody.

"During the investigation of a case related to Ravi Pujari, it was found that one Ghulam is a close associate of Pujari and had helped him in extortion and other illegal activity. Ghulam was arrested from Mangalore. He was produced before a court and sent to 10-day police custody," Patil said.

The senior police officer said that further investigation is on in the matter.

Pujari, who was wanted in several cases including ones related to heinous crimes like murder and extortion, was brought to Bengaluru earlier this year from Senegal. He had reportedly gone underground two decades ago and had allegedly been carrying out illegal activities from abroad.

Bengaluru, Feb 22: President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday said an ideal trade-off needs to be reached between new media -- which is fast and popular -- and traditional media which has developed skills to authenticate a news report, which is a costly operation.

Addressing the fourth edition of ‘the Huddle’ – the annual thought conclave of the Hindu here, he asserted that the internet and social media had democratised journalism and revitalised democracy, but had also led to many anxieties.

While the new media was fast and popular and people could choose what they wanted to watch, hear or read, traditional media would have to introspect on its role in society and find ways to earn the reader’s full trust again as "the project of democracy was incomplete without informed citizens – which means, without unbiased journalism."

Debate and discussion were internalised in India’s social psyche to arrive at truth since time immemorial, he said.

"There is no doubt that perception of truth is conditioned by circumstances. The conditions that cloud the truth’s positions are effectively dispelled by a contestation of ideas through debate, discussion and scientific temper. Prejudices and violence vitiate the search for truth."

Expressing happiness to attend ‘The Huddle’ organised by The Hindu, he said the Hindu group of publications had been relentlessly aiming to capture the essence of this great country through its responsible and ethical journalism. He commended them for their insistence on sticking to the five basic principles of journalism – truth-telling, freedom and independence, justice, humaneness and contributing to the social good, an official release here said.

Mr Kovind said dogmas and personal prejudices distorted the truth. In the 150th year of Gandhiji’s birth, he asked all to ponder over this question: "will it not be proper to pursue truth itself as the ideology? Gandhiji has shown us the path by walking ceaselessly in search of truth which would ultimately encompass every positive attribute that enriches the universe."
