[Reader-list] Debate on Anna Hazare and Draft Jan Lokpal Bill onKafila.org

[TaraPrakash]

It's interesting Ms. Dutt's channel was playing slogans of Vande Mataram 
when I heard the coverage. The commentary used the word "crusade" multiple 
times. Shockingly Shanti Bhushan was told that there were people opposed to 
his and his son being together in the committee. The example thrown was that 
of, and this is the shocking part, Baba Ramdev. I was just wondering if NDTV 
is shifting to trivial mode when covering this issue? Why are Congress and 
its supporters so opposed to this movement?
