PM, Nehru are poles apart, says AICC spokesman Shimla, March 25 Addressing a press conference here today, he said the two leaders were ideologically and politically poles apart. While Pt Nehru was a secular and liberal to the core, Mr Vajpayee, who came from the Sangh Parivar, represented a sectarian, communal and divisive ideology. By making such a comparison Mr Advani had unsuccessfully tried to raise the stature of Mr Vajpayee in the eyes of public but in the process distorted history and undermined the contribution of Pt Nehru. The Congress spokesperson hailed Mr Vajpayee as the “master of doublespeak” and things had come to such a pass that no one knew what he actually stood for. |

Three journalists honoured Shimla, March 25 Mr V.S. Kokje, Governor, presented the award to the three journalists. Addressing the gathering Mr Kokje underlined the need for bringing in professionalism in journalism for maintaining its high standards. He said a professional body should be set up to help maintain the highest standards in journalism so that it became an effective instrument for serving the society and the nation.

The information technology explosion had thrown up new challenges before the journalists and they would have to keep abreast of the latest developments to keep pace, he added. He said the journalists should make verify facts and strive to present a true picture of events before the people.
