Once you set up a tweet-storm of vilification, labelling individuals anti-nationals, traitors, blasphemous, and foreign agents, you are creating enough justification for somebody with a gun to kill, or for a mob to lynch,' warns Shekhar Gupta.
Majority of media persons are prejudiced, extortionists and care only for their TRP, disciplinary norm is needed for all media persons along with politicians.
What I do not like in most of the columnist is the double standards. They cry when a particular community is targeted. But remain silent when another community is the victim of similar situation. How many have cried when Kashmiri Pandits were brutally killed, drove out of Kashmir? When I agree all killings (Right by Left, Left be Right), it is also responsibility of every sensible columnist to condemn every wrong incident. Otherwise, the killings will continue.

Shekhar Gupta is bias and hypocrat. He is depressed as the present government is not giving him any undue importance which he don't deserve.
