Liberation journalists, UP Police and they -- a knotty wrestling!

The people working for journalism in UP are perplexed over the several incidents one after another in the past days. Many cases have emerged of big criminal charges registered against the journalists said one after another in the state like Noida, Ghaziabad, Lucknow, Jhansi, Balia. They have been arrested under gangster act.

Many of these, in the prima facie, appear that those who have been accused are not innocents. The framed charges, over the quantum allegation and sections of criminal proceeding, may fluctuate; but the lawful action cannot be absolutely declined.

The five journalists who have been arrested under gangster act on august24 in noida have been accused that they all through their portals and news channels were using for propaganda against the police administration and officials.

In the preliminary enquiry even such facts have emerged that they used to raise illegal money by squeezing to some officers, and a few officers were the share holders of this booty. The assets bought by this money have also in police scanner.

Even the same charges against two journalists in the case of illegal mining in Banda district have also been framed and duo neither can be said innocent, nor can they said that they were on ethics to maintain journalism so the UP Police have taken such action against them.

Actually the dignity of journalism must be on the verge of review now because the journalists in UP are seen as a filthy. There are hundreds of such men. An army of alleged journalists are working for the news papers, news channels and news portals in the most district of the state and the courage of professional middlemen on the name of journalism is high in the state capital of UP. Many of such alleged journalists of Lucknow are that when a birthday party or marriage ceremony of their baby or wife is organized at their own home, the presence of top leaders, secretaries and higher officials can be seen there. The photograph of such occasions on social media works as a catalyst to promote their middlemen profession easily. Many of these might have been journalists in the past, but they are now political leaders and run their middlemen services on the name journalism.

It is unexpected to see at the list of accredited journalists in UP. 1200 journalists name have been enlisted here today, but a few years ago there were mere 200 names in the lists.

The name of rape offenders, petrol pump owner and contractors are in the list of accredited journalist list. the layman leaders of political parties, the builders and the contractors are also in this list. No matter there are tough rules to get the state level accredition in journalism, yet it is so possible. If the recommendation is poured from the high level, there is no hurdle to issue the accreditation.

The purpose behind this accredition is that there can be set the frequent visit to the chief minister office and the secretariat without any obstruction. If a vehicle pass is issued, there shall be toll free passage, the open domineering of solace over the district officers, the maximum concession in journey and the rent free home in government coloney etc which reveals that all these people have no relation with the journalism and many of journalists are working serious journalism without accreditation in Lucknow while for the middleman working there is need of accreditation.

The scum face of journalism is not a sudden appearance; what has been observed in the political scenario declining in the recent years is the result of, and has affected it rapidily. As Akhilesh government left power, Yogi had announced that his government would remove all the waste on the name of journalism, but after  two and half year of its tenure the list has increased 25%.

But the accreditation to the ineligible journalists or being police action against the middleman profession working on the name journalism is not the indicator of bad journalism in UP. There has been even several difficulties for the dedicated journalism. The yogi government is also involved in its own tune  . The certification can be found from those litigations which have been established against the journalists in the different district of state. These cases in the first sight can be said that these were established with the malafide intention to maintain the unsolicited pressure over them.

 The example of ‘Mirzapur Namak Roti’ case cannot be denied,  which hurts to journalism.  Mr Pawan Jaiswal, Journalist, had exposed the serving of midday meal to the school children. Mr Jaisawal’s report had exposed that in a primary school at Mirzapur district, the children were served bread and salt in place of Daal and vegetables. The district administration, taking cognizance of this incident, took action against the responsible person, but when the matter reached at high level, the administration lodged FIR against Pawan Jaiswal for hatching conspiracy against it.

The seriousness of case can be better understand from the absurd statement of district magistrate that if he was a journalist of print media, how did he shoot video clip from mobile phone? CM Yogi says instead to take action against the district administration, “yes, there are corrupt people in state media. The action against these fellows is the needful.” However UP DGP says that the department does not harass the journalist. The matter is under investigation and the law shall bring tardy justice.

The functioning style of Yogi government in this case was criticized. The incident where took place the guardian of  did not send many days their children for study in protest against harassment of that journalist. From the journalist Associations upto the political parties in the country—all condemned the government; in the wake of the resentment PCI shall send an investigative team to Mirzapur. Mr Sharat Pradhan accepts it an endangering premonition and says, “If the government thinks that it will suppress the truth by harassing the journalists, this is its big blunder. The steps shall hone the writing of journalists. The social media shall be a medium of bitter truth highlighter.”

The statement of Sharat Pradhan is not mere of Mirzapur case, but it has been constantly seen for the past few time. An FIR had been registered against five journalists in a village of district Bijnour alleging them mere for compiling of fake news because they had published a news that a Dalit community had been barred from taking water from common resource. In the same way an FIR against a journalist had been registered when he published a news without number plate of Scorpio four wheeler of a police station head officer in Azamgarh district.

Another journalist (Urdu) in Lucknow had published a news over Moharrum preparation, which annoyed the administrative official in the state capital so that one morning all the officers reached to the home of that journalist to threaten him.

None can object from this thing that any journalists can be allowed the fake, about blackmailing or supporting to the disharmony, news;  but to do so should be in etiquette. It is correct that everybody today is a journalist in the era of social media. Everybody has the right to express himself and people going out from this purview can be contemplated under legal action through the administration, but the administration has also must introspect or review the dealing with the wrong doer under legal extent. Yogi government should understand that media is whistleblower like a presure cooker’s. it displays the resentment of public against government. Now the government prevents this whistle working, the cooker shall burst. The government of Uttar Pradesh has remained the half of its tenure. If it act to maintain the constructive works of public interest instead to quell the truth, the state shall elevate and the government shall be better to maintain its confidence among the people. Otherwise the real journalist shall have been working in its own tune.

You can kill a person; you can not kill a Gandhi

Why is, if some foreigner comes to India, he is brought to Rajghat, not to Birla Bhawan where Mahatma Gandhi had passed his last days and was killed by a maniac man?

The answer is that in modern India, Rajghat is a such symbol of peace that has no face of past while Birla Bhawan forces us to gaze with the history struggle of freedom fighting which have the Gandhi’s killing. This is a question today why Gandhi had been killed?

Gandhi was killed because the communal forces for the religious purpose afraid of him.  The forces of making radical statue of Bharat Mata, the divisive forces on the basis of communal identification of nationalism concept -- all remained always bothered. Gandhi, by disobeying to the rituals of religion, searched the meaning... and some in such manner that the religious approach could be followed and that meaning could be followed too... and that politics could stand to what could make new country and new society.

Gandhi’s religious approach was phobia free; his hindutva, remained always undoubtful. He always saved symbol Rama and Gita from the clutch of communal forces and gave him new and humanitarian meaning; his god never rely on untouchability, but it penalised those forces as a face of earthquack, who relied on it. Ahead of this regious approach, the living forces on the name religion and  the rioting communal forces on the name of Nation -- all got themselves frustrated.  Godse, a man, was a symbol of frustration, who had killed a religious Gandhi, not secular Nehru nor communal Zinnah.

But in all respect Gandhi never die – it is rooted verse which is told in the support of every thought while in recent we look at we find that the world today learn much more from Gandhi. How much he might have been conventional, he has been proved much of post-modern. He constructs vowel of faith against arguementism in our century. The issues of our time seem conceived in the womb of his concept. Whether it is the issue of humanright, or of the cultural plurality or of invironment – all look like tied with the cotton string created from Gandhi’s wheel.

Gandhi writes an ideal sentence against the bottomless consumption: this earth can fulfill the need of all, but it is small prey before a greedy fellow. His concept of Gram Swarajya against the globlisation seems an option of lonely political-economic instead of own limits. It is a twinkling of humanity infront the dazzling light of market where we can identify our gentle values.

INDIA CONSTRUCTED 38 TOILETS PER MINUTE TO BECOME ODF

UMA SHANKER SINGH IFS, PhD

Five years ago, when Indian Prime Minister launched the ambitious Swachh Bharat (Clean India) campaign, he had announced October 2, 2019, as the day country will be free of open defecation free (ODF)

 He said on 2.10.2019 in Ahmadabad that In 60 months, 600 million people have been given access to toilets, more than 110 million toilets have been built.

The whole world is amazed to hear this. In the month of September 2019, two Dalit (former untouchables) children - Roshni Valmiki, 12, and her 10-year-old nephew, Avinash were beaten to death in a village in central India's Madhya Pradesh state for defecating in the open. Avinash's father Manoj Valmiki told Al Jazeera they lived in a small hut without a toilet.

Ironically, their village was declared ODF by the government in April last year. Open defecation refers to the practice whereby people defecate in fields, bushes, forests, open bodies of water or other open spaces rather than using a toilet.

More than 300 million Indians are still defecating in the open in 2018, according to the World Bank. Experts said that while the construction of toilets has increased, lack of water, poor maintenance stood in the way of ending the practice.

STUDY REPORT-2018

The Research Institute for Compassionate Economics (RICE) surveyed 3,235 households in four north Indian states in 2014 and 2018. Their research, released in January 2019 this year, found that open defecation had reduced by 26 percent since Clean India was launched and access to household toilets increased from 37 percent in 2014 to 71 percent in 2018.

However, the study found that 23 percent of people who owned a toilet continued to defecate in the open, including in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh states, which have been declared ODF.

This government is working only to create headlines. The government should provide the facility to every household and we support the government in that. But to claim that everybody has got a toilet and nobody is going in the open is completely a bogus statement.

Now the question remains to be answered whether rural India is really open defecation-free? The Swachh Bharat Mission website claims with some caveats that the country has achieved 100% coverage of latrine ownership.

If this was the definition of being open defecation-free, then, again with some caveats, India can be declared so.

STUDY FINDINGS OF NAZAR KHALID AND NIKHIL SRIVASTAV FINDS THAT ON AN AVERAGE 38 TOILETS WERE CONSTRUCTED IN A MINUTE

 Ten months ago, a survey was conducted by a team and they revisited the families who were interviewed in a 2014 survey in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and MP and it found that between 2014 and the end of 2018, latrine ownership in the region had increased by 34 percentage points.

Yet, even in States that had already been declared open defecation-free, the actual coverage was far below 100%. Although the percentage of people defecating in the open declined by 26 percentage points, close to half still reported to be relieving themselves in the open.

And sadly, the programme barely managed to bring any change in the behavior of latrine owners. Like in 2014, about a quarter of people who own a functional latrine continued to defecate in the open. Overall, the study found that 44% of people in these four States defecated in the open.

These facts are unlikely to have radically changed in only 10 months. We have many questions but the most important remains to be answered that why don’t we have a sanitation policy that will address the remaining who openly defecate?

For those who care about India’s abandoned toilets and stunted health outcomes, this is an important question. In the past five years, the Indian government has built 100 million toilets. This implies that it constructed 38 toilets every minute that had passed since the Swachh Bharat Mission was launched. With a country as large as India, this is a big achievement. But another important question to ask here is: how was this achieved?

CSE REPORT 2018 FINDS A SEA OF EXCRETA TO BE HEALTH HAZARD

In this case we find that building toilets is only the first and perhaps the easiest but step towards attaining a ‘clean India’ status. It cannot be seen as the ultimate yardstick of success. What happens to the immense amounts of solid and liquid waste that these millions of new toilets would generate? If human excreta are not handled carefully safely disposed of or reused it will add to our health burden and negate all the work done to build the toilets.

Let us see how monumental the problem would be: 1, 00,000 tonne of excreta every day produced by 720 million people using 144 million household toilets just to give a sense of scale, more than 5,200 trucks would be needed every day to transport this amount of excreta!

CSE has based this estimate on the standard calculation that on an average, an individual produces 128 gram of excreta every day. This could turn out to be a far bigger problem than that of open defecation. If not managed properly, the mind-boggling amounts of waste that these toilets will spew forth close to people’s homes can severely contaminate the land and water sources.

What compounds the problem is the manner in which the entire process of making villages ODF has been carried out. To declare India’s 0.6 million villages ODF, the Census 2011 involved 2.7 million officials, ostensibly working in collaboration with 3.6 million village residents. However, the rush to achieve targets has led to false claims. The analysis quotes the reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India on Gujarat and Uttarakhand, which have exposed cases of fudging of data. Poorly designed and built, many of these toilets have added to the burden.

For instance, in those built in flood-prone areas, the stored faeces pose a major pollution and health hazard during monsoons. The high density of pit latrines and poorly made and maintained septic tanks can render the shallow aquifer water unfit for drinking because of nitrate and bacterial contamination.

NK DUTT;New Delhi
