India and Berbice : touchy about criticism - ketchim - 09-07-2012
Why is India so touchy about criticism by a foreigner ?
Re: India touchy about criticism - ketchim - 09-07-2012
Washington Post on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who helped set India on
the path to prosperity, is now in danger of :
"going down in history as a failure".
Re: India touchy about criticism - ketchim - 09-07-2012
The paper said Mr Singh resembled a:
"dithering, ineffectual bureaucrat presiding over a deeply corrupt government".
Re: India and Berbice : touchy about criticism - ketchim - 09-07-2012
The article was "unacceptable"
"apprehensions about a foreign daily publishing something baseless on our
prime minister... This is what we call yellow journalism".
Re: India and Berbice : touchy about criticism - ketchim - 09-07-2012
"We have done this thing earlier and they had apologised,"
Ms Soni said, hinting at extracting an apology from the Post.
"If the Washington Post has written things like this against the prime minister,
trust me I will oppose it strongly."...... ::rofl::
Re: India and Berbice : touchy about criticism - ketchim - 09-07-2012
I don't think anybody asked her how she planned to extract an apology,
especially after the Post correspondent ruled one out.
Would the government move to rescind his work visa ?
Would it ban the publication of the newspaper in India ?
Nobody quite knows............. ::lol:: ::lol::
Re: India and Berbice : touchy about criticism - ketchim - 09-07-2012
Pankaj Pachauri, a former journalist of repute, has written to the Post,
saying it was a "one-sided assessment" of the prime minister
and added that "comment is free" in journalism.
Again, a fair remark...
