Recent Campaign of One of the Media Honchos regarding Harassment of Departed Army Jawan’s families need some structured approach (which is already initiated by a RTI activist) instead of randomly picking up few cases and telecast on Media for TRP generation, after few days everything forgotten as happening since last 66Yrs!!!

This BLOG is intended for OUR GREAT MEDIA HONCHOs and certainly not meant for MUD-SLINGING on MOD officials.

OUR GREAT MEDIA HONCHOs should  realize that all deprived and harassed family members (of our BELOVED Army Jawans, given their lives for the nation) are not like Mrs. Vasanth and neither educated, English speaking for expressing themselves to the respective Defence Dept for their legitimate claim, leave aside talking to media. 

Hence, it is necessary to have a structured approach which is already taken by a RTI activist that will expose the entire “GANDHGI” practiced by the Dept of MOD who does not even care to clear the Govt declared benefits to the bereaved family members and behave as if they are doing great favor to these families by paying them from their own pocket!!!

Let me outline briefly what exactly should be the structured approach that will provide a healing touch to these bereaved families who DESERVE the same,if not more, respect and dignity that is being shown to our beloved PM Hon’ble Mr.Modi.

1. Media should extract list of cases where SANCTIONED COMPENSATION is given under following 3 Categories:
   1.1 SANCTIONED COMPENSATION is FULLY given
   1.2 SANCTIONED COMPENSATION is PARTIALLY given
   1.3 SANCTIONED COMPENSATION is NOT given at all
   
2. Based on above list, crack team should be formed to contact the families right from City to Remote villages and ensure speedy action on the delay along with proposed punishment to the officers who deliberately harassed the bereaved families.
   Why take action against those cases getting exposure in Media Channels, why not force MOD to handle each and every case, for which all Media needs to do is publish above 3-Layer data which will automatically take care of the entire ROTTEN EGGS in MOD!!!
   Additionally, Media can take help from the RTI activist who had created a special format (for capturing above data) and submitted in his RTI application to guide MOD for publishing the data in specific format!!!
   
   
3. Only clearing the dues are not enough, a separate audit team must be formed to remain in touch with these families to ensure that they are not getting cheated and harassed after receiving the dues, be it in the hands of their own relatives or by Govt. Babus.

Needless to mention that above 3 steps are just the start point of what the Nation can do for our Jawan Families  and Of course, MOD has to ensure that the above process happen at the doorstep of the bereaved families rather than dragging them to MOD office and make them run from PILLAR to POST for their SADDA HAQUE!!!

In order to achieve above goal, major hurdle is to extract the data from MOD as mentioned above in Clause1 and for the sake of our Media Honchos (busy in TRP generation), one RTI activist have already filed RTI application (vide Regn No : MHOME/R/2013/61553 dt 28-10-2013) celebrating the RTI Day on 25-10-2013 detail data of which this Blogger have already published under Heading as under:

In the perspective of a crying Injured JAWAN pleading for medical help on National Television after Maoist Blast, Does the NATION have right to know using RTI whether SANCTIONED COMPENSATION is FULLY/PARTIALLY/ NOT given AT ALL to surviving family members of the JAWANS?????? Here is what our MOD thinks if AAM AADMI want to access historic data (related to SANCTIONED COMPENSATION to Security forces)! : http://rationale-jay.blogspot.in/2014/04/in-perspective-of-crying-injured-jawan.html

AGAINST WHICH Army(A/810027/RTI/15034 dated 03-02-2014), BSF(No.2400/Ops/C-II/34/14/136-37 dated 05-02-2014), CRPF(M-V-905/2013-Adm. I/RTI dt 27-01-2014) refused to provide the above data with excuses that Information sought is exempted from disclosure :

Ø  Under section 8(1) (a) of RTI act 2005.

Ø  RTI Act 2005 is not applicable for security forces under section 24(1) except information related to allegations of human rights violations/corruption.

Ø  Information/queries sought by you were general in nature and your application does not make any reference to such allegations. Hence this Dept. is not liable to provide such information to you.

Now the ball is in the court of these MEDIA HONCHOs to carry forward the effort of above far-sighted RTI activist who felt the agony, torture, harassment of our Jawan families (much much before our earlier Govt or Media Channels exposed it and followed up with necessary action!!!) and now it’s the turn of these GREAT MEDIA HONCHOs to SACRIFICE a bit by looking beyond their favorite every evening FLIPKART JOURNALISM show, simply because its them who have the power to bring the effort of the RTI activist to its logical end, thus proving to the Nation that MODI SARKAR means GOVERNANCE with DIFFERENCE!!!

JAGO MEDIA HONCHOS JAGO AS this time victims are BEREAVED families of our ARMY JAWANS who drop of the hat sacrifice their lives for us and certainly deserve HIGH DEGREE OF RESPECT FROM THE NATION WHICH CAN ONLY BE GIVEN BY ABOVE SACRIFICE OF MEDIA HONCHOs!!!
