Motivated charges

With reference to the report ``Kashir channel's woes continue'' (The Hindu, July 9), Mr. Ashraf Sahil, Director, Doordarshan Kendra, Srinagar writes:

``In the copy mentioned above, a wild and unverified story has been published about Doordarshan Kendra, Srinagar. The report is obviously mala fide as, after thorough enquiry, I have come to learn that the allegations are not only baseless and highly motivated, but have also triggered by some sinister passion to malign the Kendra, where you shall agree we are discharging our duties in difficult times.''

Mr. Ghulam Ali Majboor, general secretary, National Bhand Theatre, writes:

``I solemnly affirm that I have not made any complaint against Shri Ashraf Sahil, Director, Doordarshan Kendra, Srinagar and, in fact, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to the patronage extended to the National Bhand Theatre by the Director, from time to time. I would like to place on record his sincere efforts to promote folk theatre in Kashmir.''
