8226; Apropos of the editorial, 8216;Hold Advani to his word8217; IE, March 17, it will definitely be in the nation8217;s interest if the Government and Opposition are on the same wave length. L.K. Advani spoke well with Shekhar Gupta in 8216;Walk The Talk8217; but we cannot rely on his words. He is not even listening to his own party MPs and MLAs in Gujarat, how we can expect him to co-operate with opponents? Also, his party8217;s attitude is undemocratic in Parliament.

Name mania
8226; Is AP really short of distinguished people? To name two, there was Tanguturi Prakasam, the first Andhra CM. Then there was P.V. Narasimha Rao, the first man from the state to become PM. The new airport could be named after either of them. Why must everything be named after members of the Nehru family?

8226; The Andhra people do not forget it was Rajiv Gandhi who insulted the Dalit Congress leader and chief minister, Anjaiah.

More on Shakti
8226; The sting operation on Shakti Kapoor has revealed many shameful truths. Yet, it is really astonishing that it should come into the limelight in this manner 8216;Stinging Shakti Kapoor for news8217;, IE, March 15.

8226; It8217;s shameful how this writer, being a woman, condones such a sleazy
act. Such exploitation will never stop unless it is exposed in this way.

8226; For some journalists, blackmailing is a workable proposition that is easily cashable. The media should investigate the personal lives of its own people.

8226; The reaction of the BJP over the Shakti Kapoor episode smacks of desperation. The politicisation of the 8216;sting8217; episode appears a frantic bid for survival of both India TV and the BJP.

Who8217;s democratic?
8226; I strongly protest against Mukesh Meshran8217;s letter IE, March 16 against the RSS. It was none other than the Congress that allowed partition, created innumerable communal riots and declared Emergency. Now comes its undemocratic politics in Jharkhand and Goa. Meshran must know it was the NDA government that has better protected the Constitution. There were less than five amendments during its rule. Congress rule saw some 90 amendments.

8226; In Mangalore, Akhil Bharatiya Patinidhi Sabha ideologues objected to 8220;reservation on the basis of religion8221;, saying that they should not be extended to people from religions other than Hinduism. This is a calculated distortion. First, reservations for Scheduled Castes never had anything to do with religion: they try to counteract centuries of oppression. Every religion has its Dalits. The RSS8217;s stand is an admission that the religion it claims to represent has created and maintained the most foul and noxious discrimination in human history.
