Shameful

Sir, — While the BJP leaders are protesting against the alleged disrespect shown to Savarkar by Mr. Aiyar, Yashwant Sinha, one of the senior-most leaders of the party, has described the Prime Minister as "Shikhandi." Such remarks coming from a leader who has held high offices are in a bad taste. There is a limit to slandering.

S. Nallasivan,
Tirunelveli, T.N.

Sir, — Mr. Sinha should tender an unconditional apology to Dr. Singh. He has belittled the dignity of the Prime Minister and his office. Ethics in politics seems to have hit a new low. That Mr. Sinha was a senior bureaucrat makes it even more shameful.

Himanshu Kumar,
New Delhi
