Both are to blame

Sir, - The recall of the Governor of Tamil Nadu shows the moral bankruptcy and opportunism of the National Democratic Alliance Government. One is shocked by Mr. Arun Jaitley's statement to the press on this issue. After hearing him one wonders whether the Government has forgotten that India is a federal State. Are Governors commanders of vassal States? According to Mr. Jaitley, the Governor failed to report the alleged anti-Centre acts of the State Government. One should not overlook the fact that there was resistance to police action and the police have to perform their duties. The fact that there is so much TV coverage of the incident shows that events are not entirely onesided.
