Balance lacking

Sir, - As an apolitical reader, I entirely agree with the views expressed by the Chief Minister. To collect news in a `war like situation' a reporter is expected to take `risks' and `physical torture'. To what degree he undertakes this risk is entirely left to him and as editor you cannot hold a brief for such adventurism, which in your opinion borders on `unwarranted' risks.

I can only join other readers to say that The Hindu is not adopting the `balanced approach' in the news coverage of Ms. Jayalalithaa's governance. It is a pity that the media should seek to destroy what three crore population decided in the recently concluded election.

S. Seetharaman,

Chennai

Sir, - It has become a habit with the Chief Minister to write to the media after setting up an inquiry commission. Both Ms. Jayalalithaa and the former Chief Minister are concerned only with themselves and show the least respect to the people. Enough of this vendetta game. We have faith only in the media and the judiciary of this country. Please continue to express your balanced views and allow Tamil Nadu to have minimum peace.

Padma Srinivasan,

Madurai
