Is Media spreading hopelessness?



Media can play havoc with the mind of a naïve user! The curious case of Syed Hassan Rizvi’s suicide strengthens this assumption more than any other thing! YouTube page of this young man of 24, who committed suicide together with his nephew and sister-in-law two days ago in Gujranwala, reveals his obsession with death and horrible impact of media on his credulous mind. On the night before the fateful day he uploaded his confession in a 12 minute self recorded video titled “Gunahon se nijat” (salvation from sins). He counts disrespectful way of addressing Allah’s name and cruel treatment towards animals and birds as the major sins that are pushing him and his family towards this extreme step! He reverently recalls his brother who showed him this ‘enlightened’ path of salvation. His brother was found dead a month ago in mysterious circumstances. Probably he had also committed suicide to get rid of his sins!
