The Hindu newspaper has officially withdrawn the article 'From welfare to paternalism' by Congress Member of Parliament Dr Veerappa Moily published in the newspaper today, from the online edition as it is investigating charges of plagiarism against him. The article talks about the cutting down of social spending by the Indian government.

Under the sub-heading Welfare to paternalism, several paragraphs have been directly lifted from another op-ed article written by G Sampath published on May 26, ironically, in The Hindu itself. This is not the only instance, other sentences too seems to have been lifted. Read more here.
