Shoe shame

IN Media Watch Briefs | 31/12/2016

Ravish Kumar, NDTV India’s Senior Executive Editor, is not known to be a great fan of the Modi government. Yet he seems to have taken strong exception to the cry going around social media that now that the promised 50 days of the currency ban are up, and things are far from normal, the PM should be taken at his word and punished. In this NDTV.com piece, Ravish says it’s wrong to say that shoes should be thrown at the PM. But wait. As you read on, Ravish seems to be saying that it is the PM and his ministers who propagate ideas of mob punishment. Hmm. A doubled-edged kind of write-up, this.
