@ChiefIba @DFS_India Why don’t you go and work there to see if security is needed or not in remote areas ??

I am pro business. In India any corporate is free to approach the RBI & start a private bank (as per rules). If as per rules- one can start a private bank, what's the need for selling Public Sector Banks? Let's the corporates start their own banks !!

India survived the 2008 Lehman Brothers crisis & subsequent economic consequences because of our Banks which were nationalized by martyr PM Smt Indira Gandhi ji. The present Union govt wants to destroy this safety net the martyred PM created for our India.

सरकार के 3 लाख रुपये माँगने पर एक सरकारी कर्मचारी (BM- शाखा बिथरी चैनपुर, बड़ौदा यूपी बैंक बरेली) को एक पूर्व ब्लॉक प्रमुख के भाई द्वारा मार मार कर अधमरा कर दिया जाता है @dgpup @UPGovt क्या यही है रामराज्य?

Messages posted by a turncoat, a troll and a government lobbyist Shehzad Poonawala becomes the top story and he ends up getting more air time than the channel's own reporters and editors.

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

It's also disheartening to see how messages sent by members of BJP IT cell are cut, copied and pasted by the channel and how it becomes prime time debates, thereby setting the country's news agenda.

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

Instead of asking questions to Prime Minister Modi for his callous attitude and misgovernance, the editors are hell bent on saving his image and protect him from getting a bad name.

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

Precious air time where people’s sufferings can be brought to the notice of the government is being used to target the farmers, which obviously suits the BJP agenda. This is a classic example of how media is trying to divert the attention from real issues.

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

When thousands of Indians are dying across the country, least that is expected of us is to ask tough questions of the gov & show the ground reality as it is. Instead we choose to find soft targets, engage in selective targeting of non-BJP gov & leaders & peddle BJP IT cell agenda

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

It is very apparent that the editors of Times Now are not willing to hold the BJP government accountable for its mismanagement of COVID19 pandemic.

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

That's how spineless we have become.

Remember how all of you used to cry "policy paralysis" during the UPA regime? Despite the entire system being in shambles now, have we even once called out the central government for its inefficiency?

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

We still blame the opposition. We divert attention from real issues. We discuss overtly communal Hindu-Muslim stories. We spin every story that is not in favour of the government. And we maintain absolute silence when it comes to questioning the inept central government.

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

States are fighting with each other claiming the Oxygen to be "theirs". This is the reality we are living in today.
The entire system has collapsed. Let there be no doubt about that.

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

More than this being a medical emergency, it’s a humanitarian crisis that’s unfolding right in front of our eyes. And what are we, as journalists of a powerful brand like Times Now, doing for the people of this country?

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

Some of them die while waiting. Life saving drugs are unavailable and good samaritans on social media platforms seem to be doing more than the government in helping the patients find these facilities.

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

A prominent hospital in the national capital had to approach the High Court to get oxygen cylinders from the government to keep its patients alive. Hospitals have to tweet tagging the authorities to highlight how they are running short of Oxygen.

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

Even as we write this letter to you, some of our colleagues and their families are paying the price because of the government’s incompetence in dealing with the COVID19 situation.

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

Always hold those powerful accountable for their actions. But what Times Now is doing in the name of "journalism" these days is nothing but blatant PR for a government that has failed on every count and let down the people of this country.

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

We are tired, dismayed, upset, angry and disillusioned looking at all that is unfolding around us and we have never felt so helpless. As journalists we were taught one thing: Always be on the side of the people. Always be on the side of humanity.

[Rohin Kumar @rohinverma2410]

We, the former and current employees of Times Now, never imagined that we would come to a situation where we would have to write an open letter to remind the editors of the channel about the basic ethics and values of journalism.
