Amongst fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution, the document much talked about by all in power and those aspiring to power, citizens of this 'moderately enlightened' land have the right to know.
But...show and tell...and get to show-cause. What cause?? The truth? Info mandarins, most likely suffering from a self-induced superiority complex, cocooned in their comfort zones, maybe justified in their own narrow minds to question. AAJ's independent reporting.
How much truth does the Awam deserve to know, fundamental right notwithstanding? They, the mandarins, seem to want to decide that. And expect us, the Awam, to be like ostriches with our heads buried in the sands thinking all is hunky-dory.
The so-called BIG LIE theory, propagated and exercised through gagging, muzzling and suppressing the truth by whatever means, put into practice by the infamous German, Herr Doktor Joseph Goebbels, him being the Propaganda and Public Enlightenment Minister during the Third Reich, seems to be the Magna Carta of the Info mandarins.
If the BIG LIE is the call of the day clouding the minds of the info czars, why not style themselves Propaganda Czars. However, a request to these 'more loyal than the king' self-anointed czars...read history to acquaint themselves with the bang that the proponents of this theory ended with. Kal bhi Aaj tha, Aaj bhi Aaj hai aur Kal bhi Aaj hoga.
