Quite a funny statement by Aziz to defend his back. I am a reporter and I have friends, initially they used to say - Hey! this is off the record and I used to pay heed to that. Over a period of time, like any sane human I do know that certain things they say are obviously a personal perspective and not for print. Rather, sometimes my celebrity friends specify it "This is on record". Rediff does not want to be hounded now by powerful politicians in power, so the best to do is say "Hey I stated facts and no caveats were specified.".
