Bangladesh protests
Both Sangh Parivar weeklies have carried reports that claim that the Hindus are the scapegoats in the clashes between the patriots and the fundamentalists in Bangladesh.
Organiser points to the declining Hindu minority population in Bangladesh since 1947 to highlight that it is not the first time that the Hindus have been at the receiving end for no fault of their own,and argues that atrocities by Jamaat-e-Islami activists have created a 1971-like situation in 2013 as far as violence against minorities goes.
While appearing sympathetic towards the clamour for punishing Jamaat leaders,the reports describe the volatile situation in Bangladesh as millions of freedom lovers pitching to free [Bangladesh from all extremist and fundamentalist forces. Organiser suggests that India and Bangladesh shun the cosmetic show of amity and friendship and join hands to ensure [the safe stay of Hindus there. Panchjanya has also described how human rights activists have reported the violence against minorities in Bangladesh to buttress its claim of atrocities committed against Hindus by the fanatic elements affiliated to Jamaat leaders there.
NATIONAL COUNCIL MEET
The recent BJP conclave in the capital was prominently covered with full-page reports in both journals. Informing its readers that the BJP has sounded the bugle against the Congress-led UPA government with its three-day conclave,Panchjanya called Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Gujarat CM Narendra Modi rising stars,declaring how their achievements are outdoing anyone from the Congress camp.
Organiser,in contrast,dwelt on BJP president Rajnath Singhs brainstorming speech but described Modis argument that the nation is being sacrificed for one family as the loudest message BJP ought to send to the country. The journals also highlighted the messages delivered by L.K. Advani,Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley during the meeting.
Steel Scam
While both weeklies allege a scam in the implementation of farm loan waiver scheme,Organisers cover story a big expose claims that a a Maharatna [was killed by loot,asserting a Rs 25,000 crore loss to SAIL. According to the story,the current steel minister,Beni Prasad Verma,has to explain,while his predecessors are also in the dock.
Organiser alleges that a massive syndicate to generate slush funds still flourishes under [the new minister,Beni Prasad Verma,and accuses the minister of siphoning off funds for Rahul Gandhis high decibel poll campaign. It refers to one Kolkata-based businessman as the principal operator during Ram Vilas Paswans regime,as well as today. In an accompanying report,Organiser asserts a big scam in Gua iron ore project. Both weeklies also claim that the Congress feeds on farm suicides.
