Heble writes: "However, John Dayal's credibility in wide Hindu circles is a bit poor where he is seen as a religious/political campaigner having his own vested agenda"... Mario observes: Calm, down, Hartman. Don't you know that Sandeep has his own agenda, too, which recently allowed him to try to miraculously transform a highly insulting post by one of his friends into a high-minded philosophical discussion? No one is Solomon here. We all have a point-of-view. Hartman wrote: As John himself has often said, when he covered events in Palestine, he was the only Indian journalist who came in on the PLO jeep and did not hitch a ride on an Israeli tank... Mario responds: I thought you said that John Dayal had a rock solid reputation for integrity. Now you have proved the opposite, that he did, in fact, have an anti-Israeli agenda. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Not very professional for a news reporter to accept favors from one side in a conflict he is covering. Imagine what pro-Palestinian propaganda he must have filed as part of his news reports after fraternizing with the jihadis.
