What about Pearl?

Sir, — This is with reference to M.S. Hasan's letter `Paying a price' (June 24). Mr. Hasan seems to be very much concerned by the so-called "harassment" of the Time journalist, Alex Perry. But being a Pakistani, does he have even a shade of memory about a journalist named Daniel Pearl? What was the punishment meted out to him? And what are the truths reported by Alex Perry? Does he know more about our Prime Minister than we Indians?

K. Shiva Kumar,

Tirupati, A.P.
