India and Berbice : touchy about criticism

Why is India so touchy about criticism by a foreigner ?

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".

The paper said Mr Singh resembled a:

"dithering, ineffectual bureaucrat presiding over a deeply corrupt government".

The article was "unacceptable" 

"apprehensions about a foreign daily publishing something baseless on our

prime minister... This is what we call yellow journalism".

"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::

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::

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...

That is how Kwami , SCA , Googs, Chairman et al react :

when we criticise the PPP  , Cheddi and Jagdeo  [img alt=:embarrassed:]http://www.westindiesforum.com/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif[/img]
