As a humble journalist, having 31 years of Urdu journalism I am with this brave cartoonist. But a big salute to Shekhar Gupta for his courageous decision to get the Indians know about the ongoing silent and undeclared emergency on media fraternity. I take this opportunity to share my experience as a journalist. I have the honour to get Saddam Hussain of Iraq and Gaddafi of Libya interviewed by me in their own Arabic language. Everyone knows how aggressive dictators they were. But I asked questions freely and strongly. Even there was Cross questions too. And they respected my right to do that. Now I am compelled to draw this conclusion that the present ruler is more agressive dictator than Saddam and Gaddafi. God knows where are we heading.
Rubbish logic- to the law agencies the Editor is responsible- as the Americans say
It will be your ass on the sling !
I have a feeling -sad- that Gupta is losing his balance 🙁
As a child, well before I could understand the news stories, much less the columns / edits, developed a taste for R K Laxman’s You said it and the common man who looked so much as if he represented all of us.
It is sad thing. Cartoonist represents common man’s view who have no voice against the systems.

They are afraid of losing stack holders who have political influences and don’t want to loose on revenue. Its sad.
