Embarrassed silence?

A reader points out that the Economic Times editorialized on the  Bhopal verdict on June 8 observing that the court ruling ‘establishes the accountability of senior management, executive as well as non-executive’. It did not mention Keshub Mahindra by name, the man to whom the paper gave a lifetime achievement award in January 2010. And in its fulsome profile of Mahindra on that occasion, ET had made no mention of the Union Carbide case pending against him.
