Corrections and Clarifications

In a report "We have nothing against Kalam, says Bardhan" (May 16, 2007), the sentence was: "Talking to presspersons here [Panaji, Goa], Mr. Bardhan [General Secretary of the Communist Party of India] stated that the Left has conveyed to the Government its stand that it did not favour a second term for President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam ... He also said that nobody has been given a second term in the history of the country." The Special Correspondent clarifies that this is what Mr. Bardhan had said, and it is factually incorrect. Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President, served two terms from January 26, 1950 to May 13, 1962.

A "Muslim Council in US condemns Hyderabad blast" (Internet edition, May 20, 2007) had a reference to the Muslim Council, USA. It should have been the Indian Muslim Council-USA.
