ट्विटर धोखाधड़ी में मोदी-सुषमा आगे

July 10, 2013, 6:04 am

स्पेक्ट्रम न्यूज: अग्रणी समाचार पोर्टल स्पेक्ट्रम न्यूज डॉट कॉमने अपनी एक सर्वेक्षण रिपोर्ट में खुलासा किया है कि शीर्ष राजनीतिक नेता जनता को गुमराह करने के लिए किस तरह से माइक्रो-ब्लॉगिंग वेबसाइट ट्विटर का दुरुपयोग कर रहे हैं। टीवी और समाचार पत्रों में पिछले दिनों गुजरात के मुख्यमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी को ट्विटर पर सर्वाधिक फॉलोअर वाला राजनीतिक घोषित किया गया था। ट्विटर पर फॉलोअर्स के मामले में वे कांग्रेस के नेता शशि थरूर को पीछे कर चुके हैं। साथ ही यह खबर भी आयी कि भाजपा और कांग्रेस ने साइबर युद्ध के लिए तैयारियां पुख्ता कर ली हैं और आगामी लोकसभा चुनाव में सोशल नेटवर्किंग साइट्स की भूमिका अहम होगी।
 
ट्विटर पर प्रधानमंत्री पद के आकांक्षी नरेंद्र मोदी के 18,61,742 फॉलोअर्स हैं, जबकि भारत में ट्विटर को लोकप्रिय करने वाले कांग्रेस नेता शशि थरूर 18,29,962 फॉलोअर्स के साथ दूसरी पादान पर हैं। मोदी के ट्विटर अकाउंट को जांचने पर पता चला कि उनके 100 में से 61 फॉलोअर फर्जी हैं, जिन्होंने न तो कभी एक भी ट्वीट किया है और जिनका न स्वयं कोई फॉलोअर है। ऐसे फर्जी अकाउंट मोदी की साइबर फैक्ट्री में थोक में बनाये जा रहे हैं और उन्हें मोदी की फॉलोअर सूची में दर्शाया जा रहा है, ताकि दावा किया जा सके कि इंटरनेट और स्मार्ट फोन इस्तेमाल करने वाले युवाओं में भी मोदी सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय हैं।
 
भाजपा की दूसरी बड़ी नेता सुषमा स्वराज के 5,34,091 फॉलोअर हैं। इनके फॉलोअर्स में 54 प्रतिशत फर्जी निकले। ऐसे ही शशि थरूर के फॉलोअर्स में 33 प्रतिशत फर्जी मिले। आम आदमी पार्टी के नेता अरविंद केजरीवाल भी इस फर्जीवाड़े में शामिल मिले हैं। इनके ट्विटर पर 4,24,462 फॉलोअर हैं, जिनमें से 28 प्रतिशत फर्जी अकाउंट वाले हैं।  प्रधानमंत्री मनमोहन सिंह एवं जम्मू-कश्मीर के मुख्यमंत्री उमर अब्दुल्ला इस मामले में थोड़े पाक-साफ दिखे। इन दोनों नेताओं के ट्विटर फॉलोअर्स में बमुश्किल 10 प्रतिशत फर्जी मिले।
 
मोदी ने ट्विटर पर 2009 में खाता खोला था। अगले ही साल उनके एक लाख फॉलोअर हो गये। फिर नवंबर 2011 में यह संख्या 4 लाख हो गयी। गत वर्ष 27 अक्टूबर को इनके 10 लाख फॉलोअर हुए तो मोदी ने अपने एक ट्वीट में अपने इन चाहने वालों का दिल से शुक्रिया अदा किया। फिर यकायक फॉलोअर्स की तादाद जादुई रफ्तार से बढ़ते हुए 18 लाख के आंकड़े को भी पार कर गयी। सबको लगा कि सोशल मीडिया पर वे ही हीरो हैं। हकीकत यह है कि उनके प्रचार की जिम्मेदारी संभालने वाले प्रोफेशनल्स ने नकली अकाउंट्स की बरसात कर यह चमत्कार किया है।

इतना ही नहीं, माइक्रो-ब्लॉगिंग वेबसाइट पर मोदी की आलोचना करने वालों की खैर लेने के लिए भी साइबर सैनिक तैनात हैं, जो सैकड़ों की संख्या में हमला बोल देते हैं। ट्विटर की भाषा में इन्हें ट्रॉल्स कहा जाता है। काफी सारे पत्रकार और लेखक रोज ही इनके साइबर हमलों से जख्मी होते रहते हैं।
 
स्पेक्ट्रम न्यूज डॉट कॉम के संपादक नरविजय यादवने बताया कि नेता हों या अभिनेता या फिर बड़ी कंपनियां या उनके ब्रांड, ये सभी पैसे देकर या अपनी पीआर टीम के जरिये फर्जी तरीके से ट्विटर फॉलोअर्स बढ़ाते रहते हैं। परंतु देश की बागडोर संभालने लिए तैयार बैठे जिम्मेदार नेता यदि इस फर्जीवाड़े से अपना कद ऊंचा करने या मतदाताओं को बरगलाने की साजिश करते हैं तो यह गलत है। इस धोखाधड़ी को पकडऩे के लिए जिम्मेदार नागरिकों और पत्रकारों को समय-समय पर इनके फॉलोअर्स की हकीकत जांचते रहना चाहिए।

रुद्राक्ष योगी : संपादन से संन्यास तक / -- नरविजय यादव

फेसबुक पर एक पोस्ट ने यकायक मेरा ध्यान खींच लिया। एक संन्यासी का चेहरा जाना-पहचाना सा लगा। थोड़ा और सर्च की तो अहसास हुआ कि वे माधवकांत मिश्र जी ही थे। हालांकि, संन्यासी के रूप में उनका नाम महामण्डलेश्वर 108 श्री स्वामी मार्तण्डपुरी जीलिखा था। मेरा ध्यान 22 वर्ष पूर्व के काल खंड में चला गया, जब राष्ट्रीय सहारा में वे हमारे संपादक होते थे। 

सहारा समूह के चेयरमैन सुब्रत राय हम सबके बीच नोएडा में ही अधिक रहते थे। सब उन्हें बड़े साहब कहते थे। हमने मिलकर राष्ट्रीय सहारा को सोचा हुआ आकार दिया। सहारा में पारिवारिक माहौल था। काम का उत्साह इतना रहता था कि मैं अवकाश वाले दिन भी दफ्तर पहुंच जाता था। काम में ही आनंद था। काम में ही संतुष्टि थी। ऐसे में माधवकांत जी का विनोदी स्वभाव। अकेले हों, या सबके बीच, सदैव ही हास्य और उमंग का वातावरण बना कर रखते थे। 

माधवकांत जी इलाहाबाद से हैं और मैं इलाहाबाद विश्वविद्यालय से स्नातक हूं। एक यह भी संयोग था हमारे बीच। मैं विश्व दर्पण नाम से अंतर्राष्ट्रीय खबरों का पेज बनाता था। यह मेरी पसंद का काम था। तब इंटरनेट नहीं होता था। हम बीबीसी, सीएनएन आदि चैनलों तथा विदेशी अखबारों से रोचक खबरें अनुवाद करके लगाते थे। माधव जी की अनुमति से मैंने विमानों के बारे में एक कॉलम लिखना शुरू किया। ऊंची उड़ान नाम से यह कॉलम हर सोमवार को छपता था। सब इसे पसंद करते थे। नब्बे के दशक में कम ही लोग हवाई यात्रा कर पाते थे। बाद में तो सहारा ने अपनी एयरलाइन ही शुरू कर दी थी।

कुछ वर्षों के संग-साथ के बाद मैंने राष्ट्रीय सहारा छोड़ दिया और परिस्थितिवश दिल्ली प्रेस जा पहुंचा। बड़ा सुन रखा था कि कमलेश्वर से लेकर कई बड़े पत्रकारों-लेखकों ने वहां काम किया था। एक तो वो, दूसरे कनॉट प्लेस से होकर रोज का आना जाना। यह सब मुझे पसंद था। वहां फीचर लेखन में खूब हाथ साफ हुआ। सरिता, मुक्ता, गृहशोभा, सुमन सौरभ और चंपक- सभी पत्रिकाओं में मेरे लेख छपते थे। उन्हीं दिनों माधवकांत जी एक और बड़े अखबार की तैयारी में जुटे थे। मैं भी उस हवन में शामिल हो गया। मंडी हाउस स्थित हिमाचल भवन में उनके साथ बैठकर हम कुबेर टाइम्स की रूपरेखा बनाने लगे। 

माधवकांत जी का मुझे सदैव ही विशेष स्नेह मिलता रहा। विज्ञान में रुचि होने के कारण रेलवे, प्रौद्योगिकी, स्वास्थ्य और रक्षा मंत्रालय की रिपोर्टिंग मेरे हिस्से में आयी। संयोगवश भारतीय जनता पार्टी कवर करने की जिम्मेदारी भी मुझे दे दी गयी। हालांकि राजनीति में मेरी तनिक भी दिलचस्पी नहीं थी। परंतु धीरे-धीरे भाजपा का गणित समझ में आता गया। वाजपेयी सरकार का बनना-बिगडऩा सब मेरी आंखों के सामने हुआ। दिल्ली में पत्रकारिता का वो मेरा स्वर्णिम काल था। राष्ट्रपति भवन से लेकर संसद भवन और रेल भवन से रक्षा मंत्रालय तक सभी कु छ घटनापूर्ण था। विज्ञान एवं प्रौद्योगिकी कवर करने के दौरान दो-तीन बार अब्दुल कलाम जी से भेंट हुई। बाद में वे राष्ट्रपति बने। ये सब अनुभव बहुत शानदार थे।

कुछ वर्षों बाद शिमला में एक पुराने पत्रकार ने माधवकांत जी के बारे में मुझसे पूछा। संयोग से कुछ ही देर पहले होटल में टीवी पर मैंने माधवकांत जी को रुद्राक्ष वृक्षों के बारे में बात करते देखा था। फटाफट उन्हें फोन लगाया और उन पत्रकार महोदय की भी बात करा दी। आस्था, प्रज्ञा, सनातन, दिशा, कात्यायिनी जैसे आध्यात्मिक चैनलों की स्थापना और संचालन के बाद माधवकांत जी रुद्राक्ष वृक्षारोपण अभियान में इस कदर जुटे कि लिम्का बुक में उनके नाम एक रिकॉर्ड दर्ज हो गया। इससे पूर्व वे स्वतंत्र भारत, पाटलिपुत्र टाइम्स, विश्वमानव आदि अखबारों और मेनका गांधी की पत्रिका सूर्या इंडिया का भी संपादन कर चुके थे। गत वर्ष 29 अक्टूबर को शरद पूर्णिमा के दिन उन्होंने कनखल हरिद्वार में संन्यास लिया और डॉ. माधवकांत मिश्र से महामण्डलेश्वर 108 श्री स्वामी मार्तण्डपुरी महाराज बन गये। रुद्राक्ष योगी को मेरा शत-शत प्रणाम।

Chandigarh, 30 July, 2013, Specttrum News: For the first time in Chandigarh and Punjab region, renowned Cardiologist Dr R K Jaswal introduced the smartest pacemaker ever, “Altrua 60 Pacemaker” here today.  He believes that this will improve the quality of patient’s life and ability to maintain the normal life even after having the pacemaker implanted.


Dr R K Jaswal(MD, DM, MBBS) Director, Intervention Cardiology, Fortis Hospital Mohali, said, “To implant this pacemaker, we have to be very sure of the fixing of position of sensor electrode built on the pacemaker which only few physicians in the country can do.  Every year 18,000 patients get pacemakers in India.”


Having over 17 years experience behind him, Dr Jaswal further said, “Altrua 60 is the only pacemaker that has blended sensor technology, first of its kind in the world, and has been manufactured by Boston Scientific. Blended sensor has an ability to treat Chronotropic Incompetence (inability of heart to achieve appropriate physiological heart rate which is required for different type of activities a human being does in his daily life) and also Emotional Stress.  This is a completely automatic pacemaker.


Blended sensor measures the amount of air in lungs which accumulates whenever any patient does some activity without accelerating the body motion and also whenever goes into emotional stress. And if there is some air in the lungs, it is going to result in high resistance across the lungs. As soon as the pacemaker takes that reading of high resistance, it elevates the heart rate in response to this demand. And thus the appropriate heart rate results in proper pumping of oxygenated blood throughout the body and results in reducing symptoms.


This pacemaker also has other recognized and tested features to decrease mortality or death rate of patients. World wide, Chronotropic Incompetence ranges from 24% to 67% amongst the pacemaker patients which is very much same with Indian population.



Dr Jaswal has performed over 22,000 invasive procedures and more than 10,000 cardiac interventions. He is a part of the FortisHospital for last nine years. He has performed more than 11,000 transradial invasive procedures and 5,500 Transradial Interventions including complex transradial interventions. After completing MBBS in 1982, he did MD (Medicine) in 1986 from GovtMedicalCollege, Amritsar, followed by DM (Cardiology) from PGI Chandigarh.
