Liberhan Commission's Report

Watched Barkha's 2 hour 'Buck Stops Here' show today about the leakage of Liberhan Commission's report. Few things i felt:
1. A 'sordid joke' (the term used by a guest on the show in a different context) from me on 'Commissions in India' --only the IAS aspirants read about different commission's and chairpersons and no one else really gives a damn..
2. Ravi Shankar Prasad was very correct in levelling a charge against Bakha Dutt in the way she/NDTV is biased against Hindus. Obviously i too feel so, as they always champion the minority causes and never care for any Hindu Cause. This i feel just after returning from Srinagar trip where thousand's of Kashmiri pandits were kicked out and their temples were razed...
3. Hats off to Salman Khurshid, for the way he is so honest in his acceptance of the blame by the then ruling government.
4. Watching Uma Bharti, i & Anish felt that BJP is missing her badly and they should get her back...
5. There is this guy called 'Anupam Gupta' who was a counsel to Justice Liberhan for few years who's so upright in his assessment and impeccable. Heard him before also on the Manu Sharma's Parole..
6. Barkha asks in the end - what is the significance of the report -- Swapnil Das Gupta jokes that "its not even worth the leak". I guess NDTV should do a retrospection of wasting 1 day on this when the whole countly moved on.. Why showing those inflammatory images & speeches and revisiting the old wounds.. Anyway no one is going to get punished...
"Move On" Barkha Dutt/NDTV....

I completely agree. NDTV is a shadow of its former self and needs to get a perspective other than that of its financiers
