Recently I attended one seminar on prolonged peace & harmony in the society. It was attended by eminent scholars from different sections of the society. The seminar was arranged by a local organisation on the context of present situation of the country more so on the increasing trend of violance, hatred and religion linked terrorism with the intention of giving a message of peace in the society.
The hall was packed up and i was pleased to see such an unusual crowed to hear such an unusual topic. Eminent personalities from different sections and religions came to deliver speech. All of them found to be equally concerned on the present treand of the society and expressed their opinion for peaceful coexistance and discard all forms of violance, hatred in the name of religion and not to be distracted or influenced by any distorted progation of religion by any individual, party or anyother else. Any religions in this earth never teaches violance, hatred but speaks of peace, tranquility, co-existance on mutual help to each other and love, respect for all the sons of god. We may believe in different religions, but all roads leads us in the same ultimate eternal destination. Nobody supported the present situation and unanimously requested the audience to rise to defend the situation and spread this message at all corners.
The president of the meeting summed up the entire proceedings with a question! When all of us so concerned and even understands it all, then why such things happens so frequently and why these matters get so publicity and sometimes glorified in the name of justice!
The answer also came from him. Religion has been politicalised and is utilised as a tool to fool the mass uneducated peoples and for selfish purposes by some dishonest propogator of religions. We have to identify and isolate these unholy peoples from the society to achieve sustainable peace amongst us.
The responsibility of journalists begins from here. Normally such incidents are so vividly publicised that public hatred starts fuming and here begins the politicalisation of religion and race for advantages, personnel gain by the unholy propogator of religions. Those who are arrested in such cases are normally innocents. They have been instigated by some head behind the screen, the real culprits, get scott free.
The journalists have the prieveledge to go anywhere , independently enquire the
real scenerio and the brains and its motive. Then they should come out, expose these leaders before the countryman so that we, the peoples of the country can recognise these selfish. illmotived leaders and upsurge democratically for their punishment.
