PRAGUE (The Thursday Times) — Itwar ko Prague mein lakhon afrad ki ek rally mein shirkat mutawaqqe hai jo us hukoomati mansoobe ke khilaf hai jis ke tehat mulk ke sarkari television aur radio ko chalane wali licence fee khatam kar di jayegi. Muntazimeen ka kehna hai ke yeh communism ke khatme ke baad sab se bara ehtijaj ho sakta hai.
Letná maidan mein yeh rally civil society group “Million Moments for Democracy” muneqid kar raha hai. Yeh kai hafton ke muzahiron aur sarkari nashriyati idaron ki hartal ke baad ho rahi hai, aur 1989 ke “Velvet Revolution” ke aaghaz ki salgirah se do din pehle hai.
Isi group ne 2019 mein Andrej Babiš ke pehle daur-e-wazarat-e-uzma ke dauran andazan teen lakh afrad ko, aur is saal ke aaghaz mein do lakh se zyada afrad ko sarkon par nikala tha.
Subah 4 baj kar 36 minute par vote
Babiš ki ANO party, intehai dayen bazu ki SPD, aur Motorists par mushtamil ittehad ne raat bhar jari rehne wale ijlas mein bill ki teen mein se pehli khwandagi parliament se manzoor karayi, aur vote 24 October ko subah 4 baj kar 36 minute par hua. Logon ne raat bhar parliament ke bahar dharna diya.
Bill ke tehat Czech Television aur Czech Radio ko lazmi licence fee se fund nahin kiya jayega balke unhen barah-e-raast sarkari budget se raqam milegi. Pehle saal un ki funding mein taqreeban 15 feesad kami hogi.
Ittehad ka kehna hai ke licence fee ek ghair munsifana tax hai aur European Union ke deegar mumalik bhi aisi tabdeeliyan kar chuke hain. Opposition jamaaton, civil society groups, aur media par nazar rakhne wale idaron ka kehna hai ke is mansoobe se wuzra ko un newsrooms par zyada asar-o-rasookh milega jin ki reporting hukmaran jamaaton ko taweel arse se nagawar guzarti rahi hai. Donon nashriyati idaron ne khabardar kiya hai ke kam budget ka matlab programmes aur amle mein katauti hoga.
Donon nashriyati idaron ke amle ne 3 November ko hartal ki, aur usi din 21 qasbon aur shehron mein muzahiray hue. Is ke baad se talaba, trade unions, girja ghar, aur saqafati idaray bhi ehtijaj mein shamil ho chuke hain.
Hukoomat peeche hatne ko tayyar nahin
Babiš keh chuke hain ke un ki hukoomat ehtijaj se maroob nahin hogi. Unhon ne opposition aur kuch sahafiyon par ilzam lagaya hai ke woh nashriyati idaron ki azadi khatre mein hone ke be-buniyad daawon se awam ko bharka rahe hain, aur razakarana adaigiyon samet mutabadil tajaweez bhi pesh ki hain.
Unhon ne yeh bhi kaha hai ke ek nayi tajweez tayyar ki jayegi jis ke tehat sarkari media ki funding sarkari budget se bahar hogi aur idarti azadi ki zamanat di jayegi, aur ise khuli bahas ke liye pesh kiya jayega. Naqideen ka kehna hai ke is ki koi tafseel samne nahin aayi aur hukoomat ke deegar arkaan mansoobe par qaim rehne ke liye pur-azm dikhayi dete hain.
Million Moments for Democracy ne kaha: “Alfaz ki koi qeemat nahin. Jab log azad media ke liye khare hain, hukoomat aise bartao kar rahi hai jaise mulk us ki milkiyat ho.”
Czech sarkari nashriyati idaron ko mulk ki siyasat mein khaas maqam hasil hai. 2000 aur 2001 ke “Czech TV buhran” mein amle ne Czech Television ke studios par qabza kar liya tha, aur bare paimane par muzahiron ne us waqt ki hukoomat ko station par control hasil karne ki koshish tark karne par majboor kar diya tha.
