Ms. Anatara Baruah, just like Ms. Jyoti Yadav, has been under the tutelage of Mr. Shekhar Gupta and has turned out to be a perfectly “secular” journalist.
Just like Ms. Yadav, she too has very carefully crafted the article so as to brush under the carpet the brazenly communal nature of the heinous crimes committed.
