Why are you all blaming the channel. It is a known fact that SMS and calls from accross the border are under scrutiny. With all the cross border terrorism issue which we Indians have been facing. Just day before a blast at Ajmer Shariff and yesterday a blast at Ludiana. Several bomb blasts in mumbai.
It has been years since the SMS and calls from Pakistan and Bangladesh have been routing through Cent. Intelligence Bureau. My father was Gm of VSNL and so I am saying this with confidence. National security is of more importance than some reality contest. With lacs of SMS pouring in, it is difficult to monitor.
So those who are trying to make this sound like a conspiracy theory should go and question the govt of the two nations and ask as to why the SMS and Calls are monitored and restricted. Do not blame the channel as its not in their hands. Just to clarify.
Plus why bring this up only at the time of final. Amanat got to the finals because of the same voting pattern and beat many Indian contestants fair n square so why complaint now? Be sporting and accept the decision. All are great singers and each will make a name for themselves.
If this is the case, the right thing to have been done was to prohibit SMSing in total. But alas and alack, profit > fairness.
People did complain, dear. It does not matter if he beat others; if he lost because of ethnicity--do you see that as being right?
I see why people are complaining, and suspicions exist. People need to learn to accept the fate, but still question it in a calm collective manner.
Besides, what else is left to talk about but this?
