Udupi,31 July 2012: When public is condemning the media for accompanying the HJV workers on assault on students at Morning Mist Stayhome, surprisingly former Congress Minister Janardhana Poojari has praised the journalist.
He said that the media people have done their duty honestly. By this they have exposed the liars so called the protectors of Hindu Culture. Those who those journalist who covered this news and showed the hooliganism of HJV workers will be awarded on the occasion of Dasara celebration of Gokarnnatheshwara Temple.
While speaking to media person in Udupi Poojari said if the journalist did not cover this incident it would have been very difficult to police to identify the culprits in this life. In this situation journalist actually helped the police to catch most of the culprits involved in this shameless incident. Even then police have registered case against them and pressurizing them. It is like murder of democracy, it is a shame he retorted.
Any bad incident happening in front of eyes bringing to the notice of the public is not only a right to freedom but also a responsibility of journalists. Due to reporting this incident live, the police could easily identify the culprits and if they had any sense of duty, they should have awarded the journalist/reporters. Instead they have registered a case against them. They have showed that they don’t have any sense of responsibility and duty, complained Poojari.
Dakishina Kannada Dist.-in-charge C.T Ravi speaking on the occasion said that no one should protect the criminals and no one should go against the enquiry and if any one come in the way of enquiry, the people of the district will not forgive them. The media has identified the offenders, let them belong to any association or organization, they will be charged with assault case and the cases against the reporters should be taken back he ordered.
In the press conference Congress leader Gopala Poojari, Pramod Madhwaraj, Raju Poojari, Harish Kini, Bhaskar Rao kidiyooru, Divakar Kundar, Narashimamurthy, Ashok Kodavooru, D.K. Dist. Congress Kallige Tharanatha, Harikrishna Bantwala, Arun Coello were all present.

| Mr. Nelson, my previous comment on Mr.Jenna is about his perticular remarks on photographer. I never said he is non-secular. No point in discussing his political carrier and his denoted attitudes towards the society. He may have implemented some policies to the upliftment of the poor. It doesn t mean that pour some more salt on the burning wounds. | |

| I appreciate the achievements of Mr. Janna in politics. Here in this column of openion he is nowhere praised for his remarks on the photographer. May be some short sighted people like Nelson Bangaloe are benefitting either from Mr. Janna or HIV(or HJV) activists from their loan schemes. | |

| Yes Baptist, people did not elect him as MP again....but that did not stop this non corrupt brave man! He is raising his voice against injustice. He is a secular man!! Thousands of people got benefit of his loan scheme and without paying it back to the institution...they and their benefited next generation is back stabbing him and bad mouthing him for no reason! I like him for his simplicity and non corrupt humble way of life! Long live Janna!!! And keep irritating short sighted!! | |

| This Mr. Janardana the great will not learn the lesson. People of Mangalore have rejected him in the MP election because of his unwanted comments. Now he will also get the anger of public because he is going award the Cameraman, who has gone with the HJV memebrs and captured the scenes of girls attendees who were helpless. What kind of a person who speaks support publicly who does not have a common sense of judging the intention of the cameraman. It would have been good if Poojary concentrate to punish the guilty than increasing the pain of the suffered families and children in the incident. | |

| Mr. Janna, please visit your doctor and ask him to rewind the vedio and watch it with your new spectacles. Cameraman projecting more on the girls. not on the intruders/terrorists. | |

| The video footage that went viral on the internet gave me the impression that those filming were intruders official cameramen. The camera yo-yo-ed in close-ups on those being beaten up and molested especially their faces, dresses, beds etc. I perceived their intent to be entirely different than what is being claimed as an afterthought. | |

| On rare occasisons Police do the right thing. They have to take care of their future and care for the Babus. Hence this attitude and FIR to divert attention. | |
