[Reader-list] Gujarat DCP shoots Muslim inspector twice in mockanti-terror drill

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Rakesh
 
Hopefully my last mail on this. Just a clarification. 
 
The questioning of "ethics" and of "mis-statements and mis-representations" had nothing to do with the "article". 
 
It was about something ascribed to me personally (in my communication), which I had not indulged in.

Dear Kshamendra 

Questioning is not unethical. But the way you two are fighting over issues completely side-steps the issue. Instead, we are now involved in a personal no-holds-barred verbal sparring, which benefits no one, be it Anupam, Kshamendra, or anyone else (myself included). 

Let us not do all this. As Yasir said, let's come back and restrict ourselves to such issues. 

And by the way, neither are you nor Anupam jee in any position of authority (from the point of view of this article)that your mis-statements or mis-representations may really matter. If you are indeed so and are doing mis-representations or making false statements, your questioning would indeed serve a very helpful purpose (which again should be for both punishment and reform of the authority-holding person). Otherwise such questioning should be done with the intention of 'reforming' the person, not putting him/her in a corner, for doing so never changes the person but makes him/her more stubborn on his/her point.
