N Ram's stand
It was strange to see the former Editor-in-chief of The Hindu, N. Ram, on different TV channels criticising the denial of bail to J Jayalalitha in the Karnataka high court today. He said she had behaved in an 'exemplary' way in jail and hence should have been given bail. Did Mr Ram not read the papers about how Jayalalitha refused to wear prison clothes, eat prison food and demanded all sorts of special facilities denied to anyone else that is convicted? Interesting that Mr Ram should root for the same Jayalalitha who had once sent the Tamil Nadu cops to arrest him many years back!
