With reference to Shekhar Gupta’s article, “Dial 2016 for Emergency” (November 5), I differ with his sarcastic observations that we are repeating the inglorious performance of 1975-77.
His observations are without justification and devoid of rational analysis. I can understand his “pain and agony” over the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting imposing a “punitive” one-day ban on NDTV for allegedly not following the code of conduct during its live coverage of the Pathankot attack. Gupta’s long and cordial association with NDTV is an open secret. It may be pointed out that nowhere in the world are national security-related operations broadcast live.
