John Swinton said in New York: %u201CThere is no such thing as an independent press. ... I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper. ...We are intellectual prostitutes.%u201D And so is Tarun Tejpal. Tehelka has gone bankrupt thrice. It appealed for funds from the general public.It's October 2007 issue is of 100 pages with hardly any ads. One has to inquire how the publication is financed and where does the money come from. What happened in Gujarat was Hindu response as it did in Mumbai in 1993 after Radhabhai Chawl. Put Sudhkar Naik, Sharad Pawar too then? Prakash Jaiswal told Parliament that 254 Hindus and 790 Muslims were killed in the post-Godhra riots The secular brigade should answer this how come 254 Hindus have also been killed? Another lie - Military arrived in Ahmedabad on 28th and it was deployed only on 1st But it was February 28th and the next day was 1st March. Tarun Tejpal a source of spreading canards and half-truths. Modi has always talked about the 5 crore ,proved himself to be the political heir of Sardar Patel, who integrated the entire country. Had he (Sardar) been the Prime Minister of India instead of Nehru, the stature of India would have been different today. We missed the first Sardar. Let us not miss the second one. (From a nationalist friend) If Tarun Tejpal or Rahul Gandhi or Sonia Gandhi really wants to test their true strength - fight election against Modi - directly.
