People's voice

Sir, — The Press is meant to be independent and free so that it can impartially reflect the people's voice. What will happen to the rights of the people, if the rights of the Press are itself encroached upon?

Vikrant Singh,

Sir, — The hounding of your paper by the Tamil Nadu police is of grave concern for all democratic and right thinking people in the country.

M. Krishnamurthy,

Sir, — The aggression displayed by the police at the office of The Hindu as well at the residences of some of its journalists on Friday will remain a black mark in the country's history.

S. Ramanathan,

Secunderabad, A.P.

Sir, — The "crude and unconstitutional misadventure" was reminiscent of the British Raj and ought to be condemned by all.

Suresh Kumar,

Sir, — If such action can be initiated against The Hindu what about the common man? Suddenly, everyone seems to have become vulnerable.

S. Michael Samy,

Nammakal, T.N.

Sir, — All those who value democracy will not hesitate to condemn this attempt to stifle the voice of the Press.

S. Viswanathan,

Sir, — The assault on one of the pillars of our vibrant democracy will not only destroy our national pride of being the largest functioning democracy but also lead to anarchy and annihilate all our achievements as a free nation.

Dr. C. Masthan,

Chennai
