Open letter

Wat my friend did after reading todays newspaper - Open Letter to Times of India: let's join our hand and circulate to all who is opinion that what was published today was a gross mistake:

Dear Editor:

I have been a loyal reader of The Times of India for the last 40+ years but today I couldn't help but hang my head in shame looking at your coverage of Yakub Memon - his hanging, his last procession, the hordes who thronged his funeral, details of his last day in jail, his family's emotions, the judicial process, what not! Not a word about the feelings of the victims of the '93 blasts.

I was aghast to see 6 whole pages devoted to the Great Martyr while poor old APJ Abdul Kalam was relegated to some obscure corner. I sincerely feel that this sort of coverage it was obscene, insensitive, unnecessary & completely irresponsible. Not at all expected from a publication of your stature & repute.

In view of this, I am sorry to inform you that I am constrained to terminate our longstanding relationship. I am no longer subscribing to your paper starting tomorrow.

I know you must be thinking, "So what's the big deal?! What difference does the loss of one insignificant reader make to our million plus readership?" But it does make a difference to me.

Hope better editorial sense prevails in the future in your hallowed publication & you regain your former glory!

Good bye & good luck.
Highly disappointed to see yesterday's ‪#‎TimesOfIndia‬ that covered 1st two pages about the Traitor Yakub Memon. ‪#‎TOI‬ made a Hero out of a Terrorist without any consolation to the innocent people who died in 1993 blasts. So what, if the family of Yakub is in tears, do you require to publish those photographs on front page? Have you forgotten the tears of the families who have lost their dear ones in 1993 ??

At the same time they pushed the coverage of Real Son of India Dr. Kalam's last rituals to Page No.4. Vineet Jain might've thought it's economically more viable to cover a terrorist's funeral rather than that of a real Patriot.

Highly insensitive stuff by #TOI, Shame on them..... share this message if you feel pissed off like me
