OVER A CUP OF COFFEE - MORPHED PICTURE OF PM

When Gopu and Shyam met over a cup of coffee, the topic invariably was on the morphed picture of PM Modi while in Saudi Arabia.  The perverted mind that is of Rajiv Chopra, who has already released pictures to demean the PM with captions of perfume etc., only reiterates the fact, that persons from the media, have to be put in place, when they think it is their privilege to resort to unethical means to deride others.  While the perfume observation can be taken as to mock a PM, morphed picture of a visiting PM falling on the feet of a Head of a State of another country is Unpardonable.
Gopu felt, this has not drawn vociferous condemnation from the media fraternity except one, who has gone on record in twitter, that action should be initiated on such erring ones. Neither the Netas of the main Opposition Party or anyone who is on the other side of the green benches, have thought fit to condemn an act of morphing to deride their country's PM, because it is Modi, and they are within their rights to keep quiet. What a shame, the main opposition and their partners in the UDF have the least regard for this country when their PM is shown in bad colour.  

Now, the apology and that he has taken the picture from someone else do not hold water and shri Rajiv Chopra should pay for the sin of committing a PM of this country in bad colour and that will only be the justice and people who have the habit of producing videos and organised and selective use of morphed videos too should see the writing on the wall.

This act of demeaning a PM, should be given the importance by the Ministry at Centre and action should be taken to put an end to this sort of propoganda to demean a person in future.  Action based on the law is essential to curb this menace before it takes it ugly face everywhere in the media. The very fact the other media personnel are silent gives credence to that.
 Shyam agreed with Gopu on the severe action that is necessary to be taken and that from the Government at the Centre, they parted agreeing to meet again.
