<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Move over Afzal, Sohraduddin is now the new martyr. All means to effect martyrdom are fair and permitted. Take the cue of the (anti) Hindu, which dropped dung. Till the Gujarat government shamed it into eating the selfsame dung.
It is now clear, as the Gujarat Governmentâs response published here points out, that the 24-page document is not the Geetha Johri report. The Hindu retracts its front-paged assertion that the Johri report speaks of âcollusion of the State government'â and of the role of Mr. Amit Shah, Minister of State for Home; and also that it recommends a CBI enquiry. We deeply regret these serious errors in a story that drew on documents we relied upon in good faith. We agree that we should have verified the facts, especially those relating to the provenance of âFacts of the Case,'â before publishing the news stories.
