A letter to Modi from 'anti-national sickular presstitute' Barkha Dutt
February 22, 2016 23:29
Dear Mr. Prime Minister:
I write to you today because like so many of my fellow citizens, I am both angry and anguished. I am aware that a missive from someone like me -- "presstitute", "bazaaru", "sickular" and worst of all, "anti-national"-- will be most likely junked by your office as not worthy of your time.
In any case, ever since I reported on the 2002 riots in Gujarat, I am among the journalists you have clearly shunned and disliked -- that is, of course, entirely your prerogative.
But this week, I read that you told opposition parties that you are the PM of "all of India, not just of the BJP", and I thought I would hold you to that promise and ask for your attention as a citizen's entitlement.
