One issue that is shocking many people is the silence of the mainstream media over the POCSO case linked to Union Minister Bandi Sanjay’s son.
Though the matter is being widely discussed on social media, many leading newspapers and TV channels have not reported much about the issue. This has now become a topic of debate.
People are asking why the mainstream media, which usually runs big stories on political controversies, is staying silent in this case.
The question being raised is whether media houses are under pressure or are choosing to avoid the matter because it involves the son of a powerful BJP leader and Union Minister.
The issue has gained attention because the POCSO Act is a serious law related to the protection of children. Any case linked to it naturally becomes a matter of public concern. But despite the seriousness of the allegation, the silence of major media outlets has surprised many.
On social media, several users are questioning why the same media that aggressively reports on opposition leaders and their families is not showing the same interest here.
This has also opened a larger debate on media freedom, political pressure and selective reporting.
Many feel that if the case had involved the son of a leader from another party, it would have become a headline story across newspapers and TV channels.
For now, the silence of the mainstream media has become bigger news than the case itself. The public question is simple: is the media really free, or is it afraid to touch certain powerful names?
