Why does this Mahesh Peri want to ignore motives. If we see the kind of revelations which Tehelka brings out every now and then, always it is the opposition which is targetted. So why not impute that they are receiving funds from the congress...or worse from the terrorists themselves masquerading as human right(or wrong) activists. Does he mean to say that it is only coincidental that not a single sting has targetted the congress. Or does he mean to say that there are no skeletons in the Congress's cupboard. So once some motive is suspected/insinuated and with some reason it naturally follows that the sting is not objective but was made in such a way to show everthiong in a negative way.
But then why should anybody respond to this Mahesh guy at all since he belongs to that great mouthpiece of congress...OUTLOOK.;) Now if this is a mere insinuation just read a couple of their issues and all will be clear even to the dumbest person. And what does that great Congress mouthpiece do in every issue...is it not attributing motives/insinuations all the time.

Have we as a country fallen to such a state that murders, rapes, wrenching the foetus out of a pregnant woman, hacking a person bit by bit and then burning him alive have all become part of 'bragging'? If this is the country that Mr Mitra thinks he represents as a parliamentarian, then our leaders have failed us in creating a civil society and on that charge alone, they must be driven away.
Have we fallen to such a state that every political party in this country -- the stung included -- would benefit out of a systematic dehumanising of our collective conscience? Can't we as a country prevent people from benefiting out of mass rapes and murders? Do we need to see even the most despicable things that happen around us through a prism of caste, creed, religion, political parties, competition, business, sex, region, and so on?
The political compulsions are such that the stung party that should be ashamed is seems smug and even jubilant whereas the Opposition Congress, that should have been creating a hue and cry, looks visibly shaken and most unhappy. A day after the contents were aired, we had a Union minister belonging to the Congress claiming it to be a Bharatiya Janata Party operation to 'encash the sentiments of the people through an overexposed Godhra episode'.
