It seems like Rediff has hired another hardcore communist - Sharat Pradhan - as a journalist. For example, he presents the picture of the VHP contradicting himself by giving a link that the VHP has stated that it has "nothing to do with politics". If one peruses that link, the VHP never states nothing of that sort. Even in that link the message is the same, that they seek to build a Hindu constituency cutting across parties. And who is thus ProfASSor TIWARI. Never heard of this fellow. Is his main claim to fame - baiting the Hindu right ??
A few raps on his bottom might set right Pradhan, to not mix opinions with reporting.
