Media and police are partners

There are many things which is broadcasted on television nowadays that we call “news”. We as a common man just believe what we watch on the TV. The question is that, is that everything which broadcasted true? It must be, because the news which is in the newspaper, on the television, on the websites all cannot be false. Exactly! This is what we all think but the thing is the place where all of these media resources get the news, the bizarre is there; they create the story and hand over to the media. And we accept it as information because we do not have any other option except believing it.

One of the thousands example is Ishrat Jahan case some time back. She was postured by our media as a terrorist after some year the court said that she was innocent. The bad name her family faced she could not face it because she was killed by police bullet. Our government is elected by us to protect us. To protect us our government has the police system. But unfortunately the system work other way around. They first kill somebody in the fake encounter first and then omitting the proof of that they burn his other family member alive. I am talking about Shohrabuddin sheikh case. Obviously we cannot blame any one police officer for that because the whole case was plotted that is why it was not heard by anyone.

I do not want to say what happened in that case what should have happened I want to say that somehow and somewhere because of irresponsible media we get only the news which police made, not the news that is based on truth. These kinds of cases usually not come in light until unless somebody shows courage and complain by going beyond the system. But if a family member has been threatened and killed. We all can understand how much courage the person may have. We can only imagine how many of those cases take place everyday throughout the country.

The people who are postured by the police and media as terrorist after five to ten years later court says they are innocent still our media has no shame to utter a word of apology.
Our information and broadcast ministry has nothing to do with all that. Our police are free to arrest anyone on the basis of suspicion, so what they do when somebody refuses to pay bribe they say openly and shamelessly that they can arrest anyone. They are so creative to create a case against anybody so at least for seven eight years the one will fight for justice, that nobody likes. Police know this mentality and they get advantage of that.

The whole police and media system should be re-engineered. The management should focus on public security and should ensure the police-terror against the bad elements not the vise-versa. Nowadays police is ensuring the security of bad elements and police-terror to common and innocent people mostly and our local and national media is playing the same role and they both protect each-other.
