Bangalore, Apr 27: Condemning the telecast of faux video by television channels Campus Front of India (CFI) has said that even media houses have fallen prey to fascist powers.
Wasim Shareef, General Secretary, CFI, Karnataka, addressing a press meet here recently, brushed aside the allegation of raising anti-national slogans by CFI cadres during Anti-Fascist day held three months ago. “They are fooling people through fake videos,” he said.
“CFI has no knowledge from where that video was retrieved and who had given that video to the media houses. Did media houses check the genuinity of the video before telecasting? Whether the video was sent to forensic lab to analyze the same before telecast? Now it is the responsibility of the media houses to let us know the source of this video,” he said.
“Video telecasted by the media houses for few seconds shows that policemen and troops were also part of this rally. If the allegation of anti national slogan during the rally was true, why did they allow it to happen?” he said.
He said that police filed fake cases on the students of CFI but never declared about the anti national slogans in its FIR which is evident enough that there were no such incidents happened.
“Anti-fascist day programme was held on Jan 30, 2014, but no media or police department made any noise about the same until this week. Why is it made an issue now almost after 3 months? Anti Fascist day was an attempt from CFI to bring awareness among the youths and students about the communalization and its adverse effects on our society. It was a fight against communal ideologies,” he said. He urged all the media houses to check the genuinity of the content before telecasting or printing.
Abdul Raheem, State Vice President, CFI, Asif Baikady, Media Spokesperson, CFI, Musaveer, District President, CFI Bangalore, and Mehboob Gouse, District Vice President, CFI Bangalore were also present.
