Indore witnessed a rather unpleasant incident on Saturday when Former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Kamal Nath lost his temper and allegedly lashed out at media persons during an event of Matang Samaj. A video of the incident has gone viral on the social media.
The video shows security personnel pushing away the media persons as the former CM accused them of creating disturbance in the event. Soon after, it is seen that Congress leaders tried to soothe the angry journalists outside the venue.
The Matang community, also known as Mang community, are mostly believed to be associated with professions such as rope making, broom making, musicians, cattle castration and leather curing. In some states like Maharashtra, they were considered as untouchables.
Kamal Nath's actions have not gone unnoticed, with BJP National General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya strongly condemning the incident, calling him "Ghamandi Nathi".
This incident has been a cause for concern as it is a reminder of how the freedom of expression and rights of media persons are still not fully respected. Hopefully, such incidents do not occur in the future and press personnel are allowed to do their job without any interference.
