Postby absolutely_obsolete » 06 Jul 2008, 11:54

The Attack On Journalists Of 'Hamro Prajashakti' Is A Sad Event For Not Just The Media But For All The People. It's Indeed A Black Day In The History Of Journalism In Sikkim.

No Finger-Pointing, No-One Talking, Hush Hush - Am I Sensing Something??

Now This Looks Like A Matter Of Concern. Did You Do Anything About It?? The Authenticity Of The Letter Should Not Be Questioned, When It's The Matter Of Threat To One's Life. When Did It Happen??

More Than This Being An Attempt To Subdue The Activities Of Press Media, What Concerns Me Most Is The Mental And Sociological Growth Of The People Living In This State. After The Events That Have Preceded Over These Days, I'm Ashamed To Be Living In A Society That's Plagued With Such Unethical And Barberic Mindsets Of Some People, When All The While We Keep Chanting About The 'Developments', 'Change' And '21st Century'. Time Has Come For Each Individual To Act His Part In This Great Game Called CHANGE. How Far Are you Gonna Go?

The Hindu 5th July wrote:Gangtok (PTI): Hours after the editor of a vernacular daily moved the High Court against the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) government, the newspaper office was attacked by masked men who injured seven journalists, including editor Anjan Upadhya.

The journalists of various newspapers and agency who gathered at the office at Ranipool, about 10 km from here, sufferred fractures when it was attacked, allegedly by [color="Red"]SDF activists[/color] with hammer and rods.

This Kind Of Blunt Finger-Pointing Can Lead To Lots Of Confusion And Mis-Lead The Readers From The Actual Facts Regarding The Motive And Identity Of The Attackers. Various Angles Can Be Brought Into Consideration Before One Can Jump Into Conclusion. The Police Probe Result Should Be Awaited.

The Himalayan Beacon wrote:Gangtok, Jul 8 (PTI) In a major breakthrough in the brutal attack on a group of journalists on Friday last, the Sikkim police today arrested six persons, including the alleged mastermind Tinku Prasad.

Prasad was nabbed from a hideout at Siliguri in West Bengal, while other five - Suraj Gurung, Ashish Subba, Milan Rai, Roshan Gurung and Rupesh Gurung were nabbed from various parts of the Himalayan state, DIG Akshaya Sachdeva told reporters here.

The police team recovered a khukri, two daggers, five masks, four cell phones, gloves, motorcycle chain and a haul of drugs from their possession, Sachdeva said. - Link: http://www.beacononline.wordpress.com
