Will FSF-India condemn the cpim hijack news that came in Mangalam and Newage Business ? The hijack view is expressed by many who are associated with FSF-India. Will FSF-India disassociate from such comments?
Some individual has written some story about some organisation in some newspaper based on some kind of personal world-view. If it has provoked someone, wouldn't it be more prudent if the provoked person responded to the same newspaper and get issues clarified or refuted, so that its audience would get a second opinion. What has the reporter got to do with FSF-I or vice-versa ? "Newspaper's right" or "reporter's right" or "party's right" cannot take precedence over ordinary people's right on matters concerning freedom of public information and its processing. In my view, FSF-I should preferably continue to focus on these areas only. The other ones can be taken care by anyone amongst us who's got time and energy to spare. CK Raju
