Shekhar Gupta is known for being a lackey of congress and has sought all sort of favours with his walk the talk;he has even flimsily reported Indian troops marching towards Delhi-on his foreign masters orders.The man has no ideology except leaning towards people who could bestow favour to him.
The whole article is based on 2 major flimsy and false assumptions. One, Indian government has restrained the media.
