Absolute carnage in Court No. 49 of the Allahabad High Court today. What began as a demand for the dignity of the Bar quickly lost all semblance of sanity descended into sheer anarchy.

An information which may be very disturbing to everyone. A medical distributor of a particular injection which is used in chemotherapy, his wife was suffering from cancer. She was taking treatment in a very renowned hospital. We will not take the name of the hospital. So the dealer requested the hospital authorities, sir I am myself a dealer and to me the injection comes at Rs. 11,000 dealer price. The hospital refused to administer that injection and charged Rs. 1,30,000 for that injection. Can you show any justification for this loot, please? Why this difference? Where does the money go?

खोजी पत्रकारिता मुश्किल? केंद्र सरकार ने डिजिटल पर्सनल डेटा प्रोटेक्शन एक्ट (DPDP Act) बनाया है. यह कानून अगले साल मई से लागू होगा. डिजिटल न्यूज़ पब्लिशर्स एसोसिएशन ( DNPA) ने इसके खिलाफ सुप्रीम कोर्ट में याचिका लगाई है. याचिका में दावा किया गया है कि इस कानून के बाद खोजी पत्रकारिता करना मुश्किल होगा.  यह कानून बना तो पर्सनल डेटा के प्रोटेक्शन के लिए है लेकिन पत्रकार भी इसके दायरे में आ गए हैं. तीन आपत्तियाँ हैं  रिपोर्टर किसी पर स्टोरी कर रहा है तो उस व्यक्ति से सहमति ( Consent) लेनी पड़ सकती है. इसमें डर यह है कि जिस पर स्टोरी हो रही है वो सबूत नष्ट कर सकता है. वो अड़ंगा लगा सकता है. अगर किसी व्यक्ति पर कोई स्टोरी हुई है तो वो डेटा हटाने की माँग कर सकता है. इसके चलते स्टोरी में बदलाव करना पड़ सकता है. सरकार स्टोरी से संबंधित डेटा माँग सकती है. इससे सोर्स का पता चल सकेगा. सोर्स की पहचान सार्वजनिक होने लगे तो लोग जानकारी देने से डरेंगे. कुल मिलाकर खोजी पत्रकारिता पर आँच आ सकती है. सुप्रीम कोर्ट में आज सुनवाई होने की संभावना है.

Not a single doctor's lobby is speaking up for Dr Randall. Every pressure group in medicine is corrupt & self serving. This poor man should not be in prison. What a shame.

Welcome to Gujarat where you can get arrested for demanding Sunday off, 8 hours shift, better pay, etc! Migrant workers have been mercilessly exploited while the State looked away only to descend on the workers with its whole might when they fight this exploitation.
