Electronic media channels had their field day by calling various stakeholders on the screen and not allowing any of them to speak for more than 1 minute, increasing the confusion at the end. Spectrum of accusations ranged from serious threat by Modi government to the freedom of NGO�s and stifling the voices of protest, to anti-national activities of NGO�s. Newsbharati factsheet on the involved factors and parties will help the readers form their own opinion. Highlight of the Week     Vigilant society can alone sustain change: Bhagwat Nagpur June 13: Drawing parallel with the socio-political change brought about by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj four centuries ago, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat called upon the society to remain ever vigilant to sustain the positive change the country has witnessed after the 2014 General elections. He was addressing the valedictory function of 25-day-long Third Year Sangh Shiksha Varg at the Reshambag grounds here on Thursday (June 12). Noted Spiritual Guru Sri Sri Ravishankarji Maharaj was the chief guest on the occasion. Varg Sarvadhikari and Kashi Prant Sanghchalak Sri Vishwanath Lal Nigam, Varg Karyawah and Malwa Prant Karyawah Sri Prakash Shastri and Nagpur Mahanagar Sanghchalak Dr Dilip Gupta were present on the dais. NewsBharati Focus     Dinanath Batra, Indian media and freedom of expression The self claimed sentinels of the republic were very unhappy these days. They were not getting any issue to forget their deep pain of having to see the BJP and Modi come to power in spite of their opposition. Even after two weeks of new Government, they were not getting any issue. So they invented one. The issue of so called �ban on the books� by Dinanath Batra, the convener of Shiksha Bachao Andolan. �Who is Dinanath Batra?� �who is RSS?� yelled one �nation wants to know� anchor. It is a �silencing of liberal india�, declared another intellectual in print media. There were copycat programs elsewhere, with different people invited on different channels. All channels took one care; they did not invite either Dinanath Batra or the publishing houses involved, because that would have exposed the shallowness of their allegations.
