2 Responses to “Red Herring confession - interesting questions on the scam”
I think a lot of discerning folks had come to the conclusion that the confession was a red herring - very difficult to imagine a desi family owned businessman confessing. This only indicates that the real cover up must be really massive. BTW, Debashis Basu (who wrote this article) and Sucheta Dalal are among the few journalists who have both technical knowhow as well as guts. Recently Sucheta reminded readers in an article about the initial reaction of the Manmohan-PC team to the Harshad Mehta scndal - they denied it and sent out Venkitaraman, the then RBI governor to hold a press conference to deny Sucheta Dalal’s report about Harshad Mehta, the first time an RBI governor ever held a press meet to deny something. Of course we all know what happened and Sucheta Dalal got the Padma Shri for her investigative work. Same pair Manmohan-PC were in charge till recently.
