The Hindu's omerta
The Hindu's Nirupama Subramanian writes on "The omerta on Sonia Gandhi's illness" (edit page, Sept 22, 2011), about the media's submission to secrecy on an issue of public concern. The point is that The Hindu itself has not broken the story about what the sickness was, where she was treated though it has a correspondent in Washington, the capital of the country where Gandhi was reportedly treated.
