Playing with emotions but for what???

This news tell about incidence occurred in Chennai express.The local students group misbehaved with girl students of college in Pune.So it resulted in heated exchange of words then fighting and then looting .But story depicts entire incidence as कन्नडिगांची (I.e. Kannada speaking student beating )मराठी विद्यार्थ्यांना मारहाण (Marathi student).The issue of Maharashtra --Karnatak dispute about Belgaon is on boil and In such a surcharged atmosphere this news will definitely make impact on readers. But as described in news is it really Marathi Vs. Kannada students? Anyone who reads entire news will automatically come to a conclusion that it is not the case of Kannada students Vs. Marathi students.Then why such irresponsible reporting causing division of society ? Belagaon issue may be important but to report this news in such perverted manner is using emotions of people for promotion of newspaper sales .Media always reports news about any dispute between 2 sections of Hindu society in this manner but uses utmost restraint while presenting news about Hindu -Muslim or Hindu- Christian dispute.Why double standards?
