ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರೆ, Campaign Against Hate Speech ವತಿಯಿಂದ ಒಂದು ತಂಡವಾಗಿ ಇವತ್ತು @publictvnews ಯ ಅಲ್ಲಿನ ಸಂಪಾದಕರು ಮತ್ತು ಪತ್ರಕರ್ತರನ್ನು ಭೇಟಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಚಾನೆಲ್ಲಿನ ಇತ್ತೀಚಿನ ಹಿಜಾಬ್ ವಿಷಯದ ವರದಿಗಾರಿಕೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಚರ್ಚೆ ಮಾಡಲು ಹೋದೆವು.

#MediaAccountability
ಆದರೆ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರಿಗೆ COVID ನಿಯಮಾವಳಿಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಪ್ರವೇಶವಿಲ್ಲವೆಂದು ನಮ್ಮನು ಆಚೆ ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಿದರು. ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಸಮಯ ಕಳೆದ ನಂತರ, ಒಬ್ಬೊಬ್ಬರಾಗಿ ಮೂರು ವರದಿಗಾರರು (ರಿಪೋರ್ಟರಗಳು) ಬಂದು ನಮ್ಮ ಪತ್ರವನ್ನು ಓದಿ ಹೋದರೇ ಹೊರತು ಸಂಪಾದಕರು ಅಥವಾ ಹಿರಿಯ ಏಡಿಟರ್ಗಳು ಚರ್ಚೆಗೆ ಬರಲು ನಮ್ಮ ಮನವಿಯನ್ನು ಒಪ್ಪಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲಿಲ್ಲ.
ಒಂದು ಘಂಟೆಯವರೆಗು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕಾಯಿಸಿದ ನಂತರ, ನಮ್ಮ ಪತ್ರವನ್ನು ಸ್ವೀಕರಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆಂದು ಅಂಗೀಕರಿಸಿ ಕೊಡಿ ಎನ್ನುವ ನಮ್ಮ ಮನವಿಯನ್ನು ಕೂಡ ಒಪ್ಪಲ್ಲಿಲ. ನೀವು ಕಾನೂನಿನ ನೋಟಿಸ್ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ನಾವು ಉತ್ತರ ಕೊಡುತ್ತೇವೆ ಎಂದು ನಮ್ಮ ಚರ್ಚೆಯ ಮನವಿಯನ್ನು ತಡೆಗಟ್ಟಿಸಿದರು.

Friends, a delegation from Campaign Against Hate Speech today went to @publictvnews office to discuss their objectionable coverage of the #Hijab issue. We wanted to meet with the editor or senior journalists to ask them questions about their coverage.

#MediaAccountability
However, we were denied entry into the office citing COVID protocols. Three reporters came one by one to meet us and tell us that they can't speak on behalf of the channel's coverage. When we asked to meet the editors, they refused and said no one was available.
We then asked them to receive our letter and give us an acknowledgement that they have received it but they refused to do that as well. They instead asked us to send a legal notice after which they would reply to it.

We listened in yesterday to eminent feminist author, scholar & activist Meenakshi Bali speak abt 'Tattva Pada & Vachana Sahitya: Roots of Harmony' at a talk series organised by @janashakthikw.
Video here:
1/n
Ruling regimes have always tried to sow hatred and enmity to ensure people stay divided. Transcending the selfish & deceitful interests of these regimes, people have built ways of life that are meaningful, allow for coexistence & are culturally diverse. 2/n
There r 100s of examples of cultural practices in our land, Tattva Padas & Vachanas being two such forms. These traditions have social and economic histories but are also rooted in philosophical ideas. These are also living traditions in that they inform ppl's lives 3/n

3 important categories of communities in the region: the twice-born communities, the different caste communities active in the region, different Dalit communities. Many of the sects within these three broad communities are not indigenous but have migrated into Tulunadu 3/n
