I used to respect CNN as a good news channel and now I realise they are just a biased TV.
CNN News 18 had a big coverage on TV - "Hindu-Muslim Couple denied a room in Hotel "
The reporter took pains to reach them on video call and the Man was telling that they showed Voter ID cards. And these individual IDs may have not proved that they are wife and husband ! May be they were shown as two individuals. They may be a genuinely married couple. But, a simple ID proof that they are wife and husband could have solved the issue.
And in the news, news18.com reported, they got the version of the Hotel, which says “It is not because of a Hindu-Muslim issue. They didn’t have proper documents, nor did they have luggage. They wanted the room for just half an hour. We denied them a room because they didn’t have proper records.”
Why CNN interviewed only the couple and not the hotel as an unbiased reporting on the TV? They passed 'judgment' saying they were not allowed as it is Hindu girl and a Muslim man.
No hotel will deny room, if you prove that you are wife and husband. Every one gets a doubt, if you say you need the hotel room for just for half an hour.
You like to make a news out of nothing just because a Muslim man was involved? If you are so passionate about Muslims, why can't you do some thing under CSR for upliftment of muslims instead of just making a no-story as a big breaking news !
In a hotel, where I stayed in Tirupati a young couple who came to attend a marriage was denied the entry into the hotel. I was watching them and could not interfere as they did not have some proof to show that they were couple. Finally the hotel agreed to give a room after they showed some photos in Facebook! Where there is a will, there is a way!
What hurts us is more is that CNN declares "Intolerant Bengaluru".. Who told them that? We live in Bangalore and have many Muslim friends. Ask any one of them, if Hindus are intolerant ! Don't generalise for God's sake!
CNN - Please be responsible. Must say it is one pathetic story! Don't just rake up Hindu-muslim issues, just to have your coverage!
