Yesterday, this group saw a post published by one Madhyamam Correspondent which purportedly was a press release issued by NAPM and Medha Patkar. The post mentioned that at least a hundred people were killed in police firing in Nandigram. It is now clear that the number of dead is less than 15. Who was responsible for the spread of this outright lie about the death toll? I provided the link to Countercurrents.org which quoted NAPM statement (which itself contained an exaggerated figure of 20). In spite of my demand, the Madhyamam correspondent who posted the wrong information hasn't come up with an explanation. He can't shirk that responsibility any longer. He must either produce evidence for his post or own his handiwork. If he does either the sooner, it would be just acceptable, although less than graceful. But don't expect to get away with this irresponsible post without explanation.
