Opinion - Letters to the Editor

Deplorable

Sir, — K. Karunakaran's reported move to form a parallel organisation within the Kerala Congress is deplorable. Having served the party for long, the octogenarian leader should realise that such moves only lower his esteem in the eyes of the public. The restraint shown by the Chief Minister, A.K. Antony, in the face of this crisis is commendable.

* * * Sir, — Ms. Sonia Gandhi's criticism of the latest sops announced by the Vajpayee Government is meaningless; the Congress was the party which began this practice.
