[Reader-list] Today's "media circus" at Jamia

Actually I completely agree with you Rahul...we should factor in the death of the police inspector - only then does it becomes even more desirable to understand the complexity of this event!!!Remember Ansal Plaza encounter...there is a big grey area there, maybe ACP Rajbir and our martyred inspector made a mistake then...but the question is do they have an unaccountable immesurable power at times to keep making these fatal mistakes. So surely I will factor in this tragic death! And again, not to malign the man, all I want to reject very fast is the red herring the deceased might end up being made into - just a passport photo with Lata mangeshkar elctronically forced to croon in the background. And yes there should be no guilt. There is no guilt!
