#Trivial issue escalated
The incident involving Mayor Arya Rajendran and the KSRTC driver Yedu certainly highlights a concerning trend where a minor traffic offense escalated into a larger controversy. While such incidents are not uncommon, the disproportionate attention it garnered suggests underlying factors at play. The backlash against Mayor Arya Rajendran seems to stem from a combination of factors, including her visibility in the media, allegations of corruption, and perhaps broader discontent with her leadership.
In a democracy, the media plays a crucial role in holding public officials accountable. However, when the media fixates on relatively trivial matters at the expense of more significant ones, it raises questions about journalistic priorities. While it's essential to report on instances of misconduct or controversy involving public figures, there should also be a balance And that should ensure that attention is proportionate to the gravity of the issue.
Harassing individuals involved in such incidents, especially if they are lesser in position, serves little purpose other than sensationalism. It detracts from more pressing matters that require public attention.
