MJ Akbar deserves to be heard. The former union minister had been harping on a pivotal point while his seat of power was being dismantled, piece by piece. His statement is a must read; maybe not all of it, but a particular line highlighted and used repeatedly.

The veteran journalist knows his punctuation. He’s not just trying to get your attention. It’s directly from the horse's mouth. Pay attention.

“He didn’t do anything,” Mr Akbar quotes few of the many women who have accused him, at the very least, of bad behaviour. But they say that “he didn’t do anything”.
