Overdose of Eulogy?

In all fairness, one has to agree that it needs guts to meet a murderer (or a conspirator) that too if the murderer has taken the life of your blood-relation. In that way, hats-off to the guts shown by Priyanka Vadra. However, what I fail to understand the eulogy praised by the media on her.

It seems that the media has gone overboard in claiming, “she wanted to meet with them as she wanted peace (none knows whether had she give her the peace of mind); height of compassion (as they sought mercy in changing the capital punishment to life term); the sacrifices(?) of the family to the nation….”

I may sound cynical but all I want you to just consider my view points:

• If the visit is personal, why can’t they stop the media (they can if they wanted) from airing all these nonsense reports.
• Even if one purchased the argument that an over-enthusiastic lawyer filed a RTI on this regard and hence it leaked. With the political gimmicks being played around, one is driven to think even the RTI is stage-managed by themselves.
• Given the timing (with elections around), is the party trying to corner sympathy?
• If the family wanted peace of mind, why they had not met even a single Sikh family of the numerous families who were literally burnt alive in Delhi when their father was made the PM and the media (run by the Govt) thoroughly blacked out the happenings?
• Why the family thought it is necessary to meet the family of the soldiers who had lost their lives in the IPKF deputed to Sri Lanka (that resulted in their fathers’ murder too)?
• Why Priyanka Vadra felt it is not necessary to meet the soldiers’ family who lost their lives saving the so-called leaders of Indian when they were assembled in the Parliament?
  
  

I fully agree that it requires enormous guts to digest the sudden loss that too in a ghastly manner and to meet the very same person who were the reason behind it. My question is why to make it so obvious and still claim it is personal?

My cynical mind also thinks that they sought the life term for Nalini because they wanted to keep this issue alive as it would reap them some sympathy? This may sound weird but one cannot rule out such possibilities given the nature of Indian politicians.

My anger is what happened to the media? Why do they do so without even giving it a thought? In the rush of covering an issue fastest, they allow the reasoning to fly in air. Cover the news but do not thrust your opinion. The reports went on eulogizing their sacrifices (which in reality is not a sacrifice at all) and it brought me the memories of Late Mr HKL Bhagat, the then information & broadcasting minister who kept on airing the life of Indira Gandhi and kept mum on the burning lives of Sikh families.

When will the Indian media learn to behave? When will they shun the sensationalism? When will they start acting in responsive manner? God Knows!
